Solaris (SY04)
From: $250.00
The fourth Scrapyard Saber from AusSabers is here – The Solaris!
The Solaris is a bit of a change from your usual VHC based hilt. Instead of the regular pommel, grip, switch and emitter separation you often see, Solaris comes apart into 6 different pieces!
The emitter is a simple design, with grooves and slots cut in and coloured black for a nice contrast. Three grub screw holes are available to hold the blade, between each of which is a regular hole to allow light to shine through. It’s recommended to use all three screws not only for the best blade holding, but also to really accentuate the shine through of the remaining holes.
Moving further down, the neck is slightly tapered for grip – an echo of the popular style of grip point we’ve seen in Incendius and others since. The switch module mirrors the aesthetic of the emitter with grooves and slots contrasting against the polished silver of the aluminium body.
The short grip segment tapers in like the neck, mirroring the design but allowing for maximum grip comfort both one handed or two. Being tapered, you could also wrap the grip in leather or similar without bulking up the diameter too much.
Below that, a black booster piece provides a contrast to what is an otherwise sleek and smooth design. Finally, the pommel is a throwback to the old Redeemer and Master sabers, although in a much more subdued, slimmer styling.
This saber is designed to be as modular as possible. Wanna change the neck section out? You could swap the booster piece and the neck around. Or you could put the booster between the short grip and the switch! Plenty of customisation available here, and with the saber parts being available in conjunction with all the other Scrapyard sabers, you can build your dream saber with just a few different parts added…

Overall hilt length 273mm. Diameter varies from as narrow as 29mm in the neck to as wide as 38mm in the booster section above the pommel, with most sections being around 33mm diameter.
