Defender Mk2

Swung this for about two hours straight during a costume event and my grip never slipped once, even with sweaty palms. The flange emitter gives it a nice balanced weight up front without feeling tip-heavy. Genuinely impressed with how solid it feels in hand.

Wasn't sure about the flange emitter at first since it's chunkier than my old hilt, but it actually balances the weight nicely in one hand. The machined T-grip segments feel solid without digging into my palm during longer spins. Swings clean and the emitter takes a good beating.

The T-grip segments really do make a difference during longer spins, my hand doesn't slip the way it did with my old smooth hilt. The flange emitter gives it that classic look I was after, and the weight feels balanced right out of the box.
