I decided to give the crossguard saber its own thread...The graflex 2.0 is pretty much now set sail, and lets focus this thread purely on the crossguard saber.
Heres the skinny - its price is going to be $275 which is required to be paid in full in order to hold your slot, I can not get the sabers started, being made by the China shop until I have 60 sabers paid at $275 each (yes, if you added that up, I need that plus money from my pocket). I will then add a sizeable amount of my own financial commitment, that will allow us to get 100+ units of this very cool and new saber created by a machine shop in China. This is that three bladed saber that will soon become very popular around Dec. 18th, and you just know you'll want one. It will be a mixture of machined and Cast metal parts.
These are accurate in size and as close to the correct version based on what data is available to us at this time, which is quite a lot. It will come apart giving access to its hollow inner body, so it can take electronics, and some sound boards. The main blade will be 7/8 inch and the two smaller are 5/8 - I will try to find sources for the two shorter smaller blades, but we wanted to keep movie accuracy as well as install-ability so people can have a working 3 bladed saber. These don't look as complicated to make, but they are a lot of parts, and there are a few good saber makers who are doing a version of this that looks fantastic, but this will be hopefully the first accurate hollow cross guard saber, and not someone's version.
My goal is to have these made and shipped out to you all by OCT-NOV-DEC timeframe, but truthfully, that is if we don't encounter any machining problems, and if people all help me by paying by the end of July. I realize this will be hard, but its not any harder than any of the other saber runs I've helped pull together. my designing partner has already given China the blueprints, measurements and its ready to start, I just need the financing to make it happen. I've helped arrange runs before since 2008 and I've come to know, I truly think this is the ONE saber that people will want after seeing the next flick...
