Ancient One mkIII

AusSabers is proud to bring you the latest iteration of the Darksaber inspired hilt – The Ancient One mkIII!

The first impression you’ll get of this hilt is just how solid it is. Coming in at just over a kilogram without the blade installed, this makes it one of the heaviest sabers in our range – outdone only by our own Incendius Steel Edition.

The pommel, removable by taking out the one silver screw on the lower grip, features a D-ring to attach it to a belt.

The grip has texture and makes this hilt feel very secure in the hand. The switch segment is built into the upper grip, and features a simple silver plunger to operate.

The tsuba, a slanted angular piece, matches the matte black of the grip, which is more tubular shaped than the grip on the MkII. The emitter has 4 slots cut into each side of where the blade sits before terminating in a slant at the very top.

The blade included is not your typical round polycarbonate blade – instead we have a more accurate flat style, black strip through the middle with the edges illuminated when the saber is on. The biggest difference with the MkIII is that it actually can take a 7/8″ round pixel blade should you choose to add one later!

This saber features the increasingly common “floating” core; simply unscrew the one silver screw just above the pommel, slide the pommel out, and then you can access the core for charging or board configuration. This version of the core is not gold as a lot of other versions are, and doesn’t have a kill key, but this has kept the price slightly cheaper.

This saber truly is a solid and worthy collectors’ piece.

All installed sabers come with a blade, charge cable/external battery charger, blade retention screws and spares, as well as instructions. Please note the blade included here is unique and will not fit any other saber. The saber can fit a 7/8″ round pixel blade too should you wish to purchase one.

This saber isn’t rated for dueling in any installation option. Check out a closer look at the mkIII and a comparison to the mkII here.

Length of hilt overall is 308mm. Grip is 36mm at the widest measurement. Saber weighs 1022g without the blade – please keep this in mind when ordering as this is considered a very heavy saber.
