This is an upgrade I did to my brother's lightsaber "The Prophet". I made the original saber back in March of 2009. I kept everything pretty much the same internally but gave it a face lift. Using my mill I cut windows into the emitter and milled out a crystal chamber in the choke. I got rid of the blinding led and added a quartz crystal and back lit it with the same blinding led. I re-powder coated the main shroud with Gold Plate and layered it on top of another shroud I powder coated in a flat black. The rest of the saber was stripped and re-powder coated with a Transparent Gold. I also swapped out that ugly switch.

Abraxas
Abraxas is a conception of God that incorporates both Good and Evil in one entity.
Abraxas was also an Alpha-class ISO that evolved into a computer Virus and attacked the TRON system in 1989.
The Lightsaber Abraxas is made of parts from The Custom Saber Shop. The blade holder is a custom piece I made on my lathe. The shroud was designed by myself and cut on my mill. It is powered by the Petit Crouton and a rechargeable 7.4v li-ion pack. The led is a Lux V Royal Blue. The crystal choke is a real Aqua Aura crystal lit by a blue 5mm led. Abraxas has been powdercoated in Plate Gold and a low gloss Black. The pommel was made by Orbital Machining. It also features a red AV switch. The sound font you are hearing is TRON, made by Novastar. It can be purchased here.

The Quinlan Vos lightsaber was another saber that I had my eye on for quite sometime. But, could never find the cash flow for it. I heard about a run last year by JQ Sabers and decided it was time to obtain one of my unicorns. I received this saber last summer and just got around to installing the electronics...what? I've been lazy....

Darth Bane
Darth Bane, born under the name of Dessel, was the Sith'ari and the Dark Lord of the Sith responsible for creating the Rule of Two. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Bane
In the summer of 2011 I was invited to attend a "Saber Summit" in New Orleans Louisiana. It was a gathering of friends and sabersmiths who had gotten to know each other over the years through the various saber forums. It was here that I finally got to meet Randy aka "Arm On Fire". I have been an admirer of his work for sometime and got serious wood everytime he posted a new lightsaber. He did a run of 4 Darth Bane sabers sometime ago but due to the uncertainty of my job I couldn't get in on it. Until Saber Summit. He brought one with him. I was working at the time and the price was right so, I snatched it up faster than speeding photon. Score!

Eirene
Eirene was the goddess of peace (eirênê) and of the season of spring (eiar, eiarinos). Late spring was the usual campaign season in Greece when peace was most at risk. Eirene was one of three Horai, goddesses of the seasons and the keepers of the gates of heaven.
Eirene was part of contest on the FX-Sabers forum, known as the Alliance saber. The winning design was voted on and was to to brought to life by Acerocket of Orbital Machining.
It was sold as a bare metal hilt to be assembled by a sabersmith of your choice. I chose to do it my self. I powdercoated the main shroud in a glossy Black as well as the accent rings. The crystal is a color treated quartz crystal illuminated by a 5mm white led. The accent strip was done by a member of the FX-Sabers Forum and is back lit by a 5mm white led as well. Eirene is powered by the Novasound 3.0. It's an ok board. There are a couple things I'd like to see fixed on it. It overheats when using a Luxeon 3 led with 7.2 volts and there is a click in the hum cycle. For the price it's not bad but these issues need to be addressed. I do like the fact that it doesn't require an auxiliary switch for the blaster blocks. The main led is an RGB P5 mixed to a shade of Blurple. Here are some pics. Enjoy:

Nāga
Nāga is the Sanskrit and Pāli word for a deity or class of entity or being, taking the form of a very great snake, specifically the King Cobra.
This saber started off as an empty hilt I bought from Saberforge. I've always thought he had a great eye for design but his execution and insides left more to be desired. But, with a little TLC and turd polish I thought I could make this into a great stunt hilt.
Nāga features 3 AAA batteries, a Lux III Green LED, and a momentary Green AV switch with a Pololu board to convert it to a latching switch. I powdercoated it in Black Chrome and Glossy Black. I custom machined the pommel and milled the windows into the blade holder. It also features a "Bone" style grip, which was made by my wife Aurora. The saber is a stunt saber with no sound.
