Anyone got their own custom double blade saber? I really want to make a double bladed that could split into two, similar to the double helix.

I know someone has a splitable double-sided saber with blue rods... it looks hot! I think they're in here somewhere

Sweet... I'll look for it. The only reason why i'm asking is because if I'm gonna make my own saber, i'm gonna do it right, ya know? Also, I like fighting with two sabers, but watching Darth Maul fight with that beast is intriguing (sp)... EDIT: I haven't found that picture, but i'm starting to work on my own  Wish me luck, as this will be my first saber. |

When I was in Karate I used a bo which is what Maul's sabre is based on. Sparring with those is a lot faster than with a sword since you have the momentum of one end propelling the other end. They do make good sabres though. A couple years ago I painted a wood bo green and rigged a sabre hilt at the centre. It wasn't that great but it worked.

Shoshana made one from The Big Yellow Box, but I don't think it splits apart. Looks cool anyway, though!

Yeah, i'm working on the one from Big Yellow Box right now, but the blades are PVC, so I gotta figure out what to do about making a super cool colored blade...

An acrylic blade won't screw into it?

I've seen the Double Helix sabre in action, Nice peice fpo work. He let me use it but people at the con wouldn't pay attention so I couldn't get a good feel for it. I DID notice that if it has the regular length blades(36=39inches) it tends to wobble. I think shorter ones maybe 30" would work better.
thee sabre was also loose in the middle. It's Ppossible he'd damaged it in a few sparrings and loosened the couplings.

Have you ordered from that source? If so, let us know which product and what it looks like!
I've surfed the site a bit and find that colors are available in extruded acrylic and PVC rods.

i remember reading that double bladed are strictly sith, however in kotor we see otherwise... so build away and dont cut your arm off in the process twirling that thing

Not quite Star Wars, but in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Jay has a double-ended bong-saber with green blades, and that looked pretty cool. When I saw Silent Bob's curved bong-saber, I wondered if that might've been a reference to Count Dooku's saber (which hadn't been seen onscreen at that point)

Wish me luck, as this will be my first saber.
