Saber Style: Retrofit
Retrofit price: $75
While we generally dont like to work on other people's hilts, but from time to time, we can be talked into it.
This hilt was sent to us, with a different looking shroud entirely, and a rather sparce
handgrip, that just needed a little dressing up. We completely removed the emitter shroud, and
machined a new, thick sweeping cover, complete with a long milled slot in the top, forking it
down the middle. We added the set of 6 milled slots in the foregrip, as well as a small
aluminum "holder" for a crystal that can actually be seen through the slots. The premise is that the
LED setup will light up the crystal and shine directly through it into the blade. The final addition
to the existing hilt is the shell that covers the rear grip, with an angled cutout allowing the
grip to show through.
