Oblivion’s Needle
Oblivion’s Needle
This hilt was designed for deep space use. Heavily textured and bold direct controls give easy use to gloved hands. A design that feels right at home on the hip of a galactic galaxy nomad. Giving you that extra feeling of security when walking into a dark cantina or butting heads with uncooperative locals.
CONSTRUCTION/CUSTOMIZATION
All my hilts are designed with a steel threaded rod running down the middle for structural stability as well as working with the emitter/pommel(each have a sunken steel bolt) to combine the unit. The ends twist on, allowing the owner to customize the order of the components, their orientation and swap in new parts at any time down the road.
WEIGHT = 9.2 oz
LENGTH = 11 inches
WIDTH = 1.25 inches at grip 1.62 widest part of switch
FYI/CYA DISCLAIMER
The following is a fictional break down of the physical features of the hilt. These are the features I envisioned while I was designing it. Sadly the hilt will not actually produce a cutting blade and is made of resin, not metal.)
THE GOODS
Emitter/Shield- An extremely robust emitter embedded in a matching outer shield, this combo was made for no muss no fuss. No extra ports get get jammed with space debris, she’s dependable and deadly.
Switch Assembly - Clean, easy to maintain and straight to the point. A pressure slide and single big blocky robust ignition button are all you need. Ultra light materials are also resilient and ready to take a beating if needed.
Couplers- A little bit of the old razzle dazzle, these twin couplers feature an ornate gold design over titanium bodies. It never hurts to have a little sparkle to go with your slice.
Main Grip- Perfectly engineered hex cuts adorn this point of purchase, giving it supreme traction control and dependability under any condition, water, oil or blood. Copper construction gives it an eye catching shine and will definitely set you apart from every other blade swinger with an all silver hilt.
Pommel - A solid counter balance to the upper weight of the saber, the coupe de grace of this symphony of steel, copper gold, strength and balance. Gold alloy outer screws and a composite steel bottom bold make this an easily maintained component that won’t let you down when you need it.
OPTIONS - This hilt is available in two forms.
Raw Resin Kit - fresh out of the print vat, will need a small amount of sanding(the beauty of resin printing vs pla, incredibly smooth surfaces right off the printer and super easy to sand. I will give it a once-over and remove any small support burns or uneven surfaces so you’re all ready to prime and paint.
Turn around time - Parts are printed per order and average print time per hilt is 12 to 16 hours. Should ship within 7-10 days of order.
OR!
Premiere Display - This piece will be given my utmost level of attention and detail, sanded, primed and painted. It will come with a certificate of authenticity card which will include the Soupcan13 badge of quality as well as my signature and will include its run number(I plan on doing a total of 200 in this run). My painting process includes, all parts deburred and sanded, priming, airbrushing the base coat, applying color coats, masking and applying secondary detail colors, detail painting, black wash/corrosion wash and finally 3 coats of high quality clear coat to protect from chips, scratches and prevent paint from wearing due to handling.
Turn around time - Parts are painted per order and average paint time per hilt is 6 to 8 hours. Should ship within 15-18 days of order.
