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.

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

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