This saber was built at the same time Replica VI was built and also was a request from my buddy in Canada. Again, at the time, I could not replicate the "control band" on the saber used in EpIII. We agreed on a Graflex Clamp for this, as well, and he requested I fabricate the grips opposed to using the rubber grips. Asside from a bit of technical difficulties with the prongs--which he also requested be added on ala the EpIII saber--this turned out to be an awsome saber. You would have to hold it in your hands to fully appreciate it, as the pictures do it little justice. The weight of the saber was perfect! Not too heavy, and not so light you feel like you're holding a feather in your heand instead of a lightsaber.
