The Cal Kestis' crossguard lightsaber variant is finally available. Inspired from one of the Jedi: Survivor saber designs, the crossguard has become iconic.
This Nexus new model is only available in Xeno3 neopixel and it is recommend for display or cosplay, not for dueling. It comes with a set of 2 fixed mini side blades.
The thread at the bottom of the grip (by the pommel)is VHC and can accomodate a covertec module. Due to the format of the pommel you'd need to insert the wheel module, then disassemble the 3 piece pommel, thread the bronze piece to a certain level, then insert the silver part and finally screw the pommel cap. But it does work. You can watch the video below to check it out.Also the grip sections can be disassembled to shorten the overall length. It is a very modular piece.
Like all of our amazing sabers, this hilt is made of aluminium 6063. Every saber boasts stunning finishes on a great build with strong materials to offer either the best reproduction of a legendary design or a very comfortable and yet stylish dueling weapon.
