This is my submission for Saberbay’s design contest. The design is my own, with considerations of what I’d enjoy having in a lightsaber hilt while dueling. I have a fencing background and have always felt that sabers do not have the same point control as a rapier or foil. This is designed to help better utilize those mechanics while still staying within the Star Wars universe. It resembles Count Dooku’s hilt for use of the saber form Makashi while the finger ring and thumb rest will aid in point control and finger protection. The hilt body is oval in shape for a more natural hold rather than the traditional cylinder of other hilts while the emitter takes design cues from the dark saber with a few artistic changes, blending ergonomics and art.
