This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster. An elegant weapon for a more civilized time.
A holy grail of sorts for lightsaber replica enthusiasts, this set-accurate Obi-Wan battle-tested blade has been built from the same rare found parts as the original screen-used hero prop.

This stunning piece is rock solid and yet can be completely field stripped and re-assembled. It weighs about 1050g (2.3 pounds). I also included a "removed" crystal chamber featuring parts of the british rifle grenade and a smoke quartz crystal gem.
Researched, sourced and built by myself.
