DESCRIPTION
This was my fifth hilt. The main grip is a combination of polished solid brass plates bolted down, alternating with aqua high-brightness EL wire. The led and the EL wire are run off their own power supplies, and have separate switches. The EL switch is mounted to the pommel; it is quite well hidden. With all the wiring, the interior of this hilt is very cramped, and is a pain to replace the batteries. The blade thumbscrew is an 8-32.
