    Light sabres

    I'm a sabreist and I've been fencing for about 4 years. I'm looking for a really light electric sabre. I've been thinking about the All-Star Super blue blade. Anyone know of any really light sabres?

    Don't focus just on the physical weight of the blade...balancing the blade makes a huge differance.

    I thought part of becomg a jedi was making your won light saber. I didn't know you were allowed to buy them.......



    Balence is everything in a weapon.
    If you give a man a fire, he is warm for the night.
    If you set a man on fire, he is warm for the rest of his life.

    The blue-gauntlet blades are pretty light and well balanced... though they break pretty easily.

    I use a combination of leon paul and pbt sabre.
    Leon Paul: Pozdnyakov Pro blade, lightweight guard
    PbT: rubber grip, two pin, isolated pommel

    My sabre is really good balanced, and is lighter than other PbT sabres
    Lovely Greetings from Germany

    I agree with Purple, it's all about balance and bending the tang... in all three weapons.
