Hello again everyone. I would like to unveil my latest saber creation to you all. I always told myself that if I ended up with a Standard Issue saber, I would customize it inspired by Rahm Kota's saber from the Force Unleashed video games. It just so happens that this very thing occurred, as I received one as a prize in the last raffle (stunt with Li-ion setup). Without further ado, I give you...Khrota:



It is sporting a brown leather tennis racket grip (cut out to fit around the switch), cream fake leather sash, one of my switch covers in black, and a Prophecy CE pommel. I created the weathered look by lightly and continuously spraying it with black spray paint, waiting a few seconds, then wiping/buffing it until the desired effect was achieved.


The saber originally came with a VA LED, but I wired in quick disconnects to add a true to form CG LED.

It also includes a new blade plug design of mine (available in the shop tomorrow).


I'm very pleased with how it came out, and may do a video review of it like I did for my DSI. If so I will post it in this thread for future reference.

Thanks for looking! I hope you enjoyed it!

Very nice work!  I'm a big fan of the Kota hilt, and I think you pulled it off nicely (I was waiting for somebody to try it with a Standard Issue one day)

I like the weathering you did on the grooves and at the emitter. That is very cool!

Fantastic work! I thought an SI would make for a cool Khota 'sabre, and you knocked this one out of the park!

Thank you all!  Smiley  The grip on this saber has proven extremely comfortable and highly recommended if you are looking for a good saber grip.

Nice work, Sedsti, I dig it!  I was considering the same brown grip for my SI actually but hadn't found anything in brown.  I wasn't looking hard enough, clearly.  Looks great.  I like that new blade plug as well, you have some killer designs for sale in your store.

If I can manage to stop sending all of my money to UltraSabers for a few weeks I definitely want to order 2-3 of your products, haha.

Thank you! It's a really great grip. The leather ones are, of course, more expensive than the regular racket grips, but I'm sure all would have a similar comfort. After this one I may add some grip to my next project saber.
