It reminds me of yours - the grip, I think. 7.5" is just about right for one-handed use, isn't it?

Thanks, Toba. Yes, the saber is very similar to my preferred design. I've been doing that particular "style" for several years. When I saw the sabers of Obi Wan and Qui Gon, I really liked the "cut-out grip" aspect. I coupled this with the emitter style seen on the older Graflex and Heiland styles on Luke's and Vaders from the orignial trilogy. I kept the rest (knobs, LED's, and other protrusions) to a bare minimum. I did some sabers that have more controls on them, but found that I didn't care for the feel of them.

And, yes, it works great for a one handed saber...about the size of Master Yoda's saber, I would say...

I really like the shape.
