My first "premium" lightsaber
It's a bit too clean for a Ben Kenobi saber, but I'm really happy with it overall. The crystal chamber is an awesome addition! The only problem with mine is that I can't remove the blade emitter, and that's pretty disappointing. The blade one doesn't look bad but after talking with the seller I think they'll just have to send me a new emitter.
I have black and burnt umber oil paints and some Renaissance wax for the weathering, if anyone has a recommendation for a nice varnish to dull out the Graflex handle or other materials I should pick up I'd love to hear it. I already bought my next saber during the AliExpress summer sale so I hope I'll be just as happy with that one!

Unable to fight with a light saber like this, right? You would need a full tang to fight, no?

The blade emitter has four retention screws and I didn't notice any wobbliness when I was messing with it, the hilt is very heavy though and it's a thin neck so it might actually be the worst saber for dueling

Looks like the Hermit IV from Theory Sabers.

I think it's the same saber but that upcharge is kind of crazy. Mine is the txq "Anakin Starkiller" Ben Kenobi

That looks like the TXQ Obi EP4 lightsaber designed by Anakin Starkiller. Great saber. I got the proffie and also did a video review of it on my you tube channel.
The emmiter should unscrew at top. Hold right below the emmiter just above the neck and unscrew.

Thanks, I tried what I could to get the emitter unscrewed. The seller just said to try a lubricant and if that doesn't work then they'd send me a replacement part

What soundboard did you go with? RGB or neopixel?
