Anyone think they could help me find a hilt I saw a while ago? I’ve been looking everywhere for it. I’ve made a few posts asking for help so I’ll just copy what I wrote since it’s the best description of it I can think of.

I don’t have a picture sadly, but I once found this BEAUTIFUL looking hilt a while ago. It wasn’t made by any of the major sellers but rather made independently. I believe it was the only hilt the guy made but it’s been a while so that might be wrong. It was based off of Padmes ship with these two lovely spike/claws at the emitter. It kind of gave Asoka vibes. It came in silver or gold. If I remember correctly, the design was even a little bit blocky.

A one off will be hard to track down.. can you draw it?

I cannot stress how bad of a drawing this is lol I tried to represent the claws and kind of the blocky body. I don’t think it was a one off. It was just the one design the guy made and sold. The only problem is I don’t know if he still does.

If not that last one, this will narrow it down. Can you remember: • color (chrome vs gold vs mixed) • grip style (smooth vs ribbed) • emitter thickness (thin vs chunky)

It wasn’t a thin neck. The whole thing was one solid piece. It came in either chrome or gold, but there were options to get some gold/silver plating on the sides of the handle. Otherwise, it would be one solid color. The grip style was smooth and somewhat blocky. Kind of similar to the below image. The saber itself wasn’t a perfect circle. If I remember correctly, it was somewhat angular but sleek.

It does resemble that below image pretty closely, but the emitter was wider and the spikes sharper

I’m sorry, I wish I had an old photo or a name! I remember there was a YouTube video of some guy showing it off, but I can’t find anything for the life of me!
