I have all three. I liked the look, overall, just thought the grips were too... busy. And yeah, they were kinda cheap. There was even flashing left on parts of some of the grip castings. *sigh* oh well... And Good Lord man, Jose De Braga has some sweet knives!! I think one of the elven swords i posted about a long while back might have been his design. And it's cool how he actually does the futuristic look without making the grip unusable... The man is a genius... :) @Darthsaida Yeah, that is an interesting sword design. But it is actually a more practical implementation of the "light saber" idea than we see in StarWars. It's much easier to create a plasma arc between two points than out in thin air... @Sinza,

I think I remember seeing a set of 3 different sizes...dagger and such. Ilke it but it's cheap. Take a look at Jose DeBraga's work!!! Looks like this but just awesome!!!!
