The Deceitful is a great lightsaber design. Good looking, light and practical. With the dual tone look and the open emitter, it is one of the best looking lightsaber at a budget. And like most of our dueling sabers it is VHC compatible so you can use our wide range of accessories with it as well as combining it to another saber to make it a double bladed staff. VHC : This saber has VHC threads (Variable Hilt Component standard by Nexus Sabers), meaning it can be associated with parts of other VHC sabers and can accommodate VHC compatible accessories. BONUS : this saber already has a saber coupler at the bottom of the hilt. Perfect if you want to connect another hilt and make a double bladed staff. 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. SABER CONFIGURATIONS Here's a simple breakdown of our available configurations. See our "Which version to choose ?" info box above for more details. 🥉Standard : the base model now with a Xeno 3 board, featuring rich sounds, lots of effects and customizable through a mobile app or via SD card. Standard sabers are baselit sabers with a lighter blade made for heavy dueling. Perfect if you plan on doing cosplay or stunt/duel performances or if you simply don't need the neopixel blade. 🥈Premium : it's our most wanted option! The same brand new Xeno 3 board but with a neopixel blade. The high density LED strip in the blade allows for an amazing look and tons of visual effects. Now customizable through a mobile app and, as usual, via the SD card. BLADE LENGTH 📐 Dimensions of the hilt : 27cm / 10.6 inches in length, weighs approx. 330 g / 0.72 lbs 📐 Dimensions of the blade : it's our 1 inch diameter standard, then you choose between 72, 82, 92 cm (28, 32 or 36 inches) for the length. Polycarbonate thickness is 2mm for Standard sabers and 3mm for Premium and Deluxe sabers. 📏 Recommended length of your lightsaber : a lot of academies and fencing federations request that the total length of your dueling saber stays between 100 and 110cm (39.4 to 43.4 inches). The blade usually sits inside the hilt for about 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 inches). If you mean to use your saber in an official setting, be careful and choose the appropriate size, if you don't care for this, go for the longer blade length : 36 inches / 92 cm.   USABILITY CHART Key criterias for duelists is Handling and Weight, for cosplayers it is Style and ease of Maintenance, and for collectors it is mostly Style.   STYLE & REFINEMENT Some complexity is brought to a simple design.
