I collect mostly Nihonto or one of the kind custom Katana ,but Evolution Blades are truly high quality production Katana .I might have to make an exception ,and order one .
While a really nice saber I feel what solos hold should do instead of the emitter flanges and all that they should do a solid emitter with a 7/8” hole. And I would like see more Luke V2 makes do more static like Dave P. Even Mark Hamil himself said it felt heavy to him the real prop
It's actually accurate the way it's made. I've held the real one in my hands at the time next to Starkiller and solos hold v1, which informed all the revisions for V2 (current). Some of the measurements I supplied didn't translate to production which I mentioned. They're about the same weight actually. Mark Hamil had no frame of reference at the time. The real one is hollow inside as well.
I think I was lucky enough to get my hands on a legitimate one that either never had the 9 branded onto the handle OR the grips were replaced at some point. (The numbers are matched on the inside of the grip panels but I’m suspicious that the grips are not original). It is stamped 1920 but the serial number suggests that it is from the Prussian order of “red nines”. I’ve got a feeling that the grips were replaced when it went into German police inventory shortly after WW1. In addition to the 1920 stamp there are markings on it that suggest it became part of a military/police inventory.
They very well could be original to the gun. There are many documented red 9 with standard grips.
@@scottjua yeah true. One of the things making me suspicious is the fact that all six digits are stamped into the back side of each grip panel and I think the norm was usually just the last three or four digits? Also the top and bottom of each grip panel has the customary horizontal lines but the middle section (where they would have put a 9) is smooth without any grooves. I suppose the Germans might have sanded off the “9” then stamped on the 1920 and said good enough lol 😏
Great work Scott! Love the influx of videos lately. Always nice to kick back and open KZread to see one of your projects.
Thanks! I need to do a live or something, I feel like some of the short videos get monotonous for everyone, but not sure.
Dang that saber looks nice! I need to get one for one day
so, the balance pipe is not made out steel?
No the real ones are made of inconel
@@scottjua😋INCONEL
Like to see someone walking round a town in Texas geared up like Hans Solo carrying this weapon. In the words of the Eagles’ song ‘what a fine sight to see.’
Great video Scott do loves those Dave’s versions
Looking forward to this
How much was the retail on this ? Was this limited to certain number
I don't recall, it was a couple years ago now. 500+ I think. Yes it was limited because of cost to machine in steel.
@@scottjuayea I own the all steel one also . I see they have an aluminum metal one still available with stand is $500 . So I figured the all steel one should be more expensive
@@jeragala yeah it was, I just have a terrible memory for these things... helps me sleep better not knowing how much all this costs. ^_^
back when ferrari was the real big dog of supercar market
Un engin formidable
Very nicely done. I'm wanting an MK1 (clean) for my collection. Still deciding if I want static or installed
Hey @scottjua, what’s your paint of choice here? And do you airbrush it? I just picked up the ROTJ Princess kit, which is black anodized, but I might want to remove the machining lines also and then take it back to black. Thanks in advance!
I've been using duplicolor paints lately. Semi gloss or satin
You are a Jedi Scott! Amazing work 👍
Hi, great comparison video. I'm wondering where you found the wooden vibrola cover. I can't seem to find a supplier. Also, how does it fit on as they don't seem to have any visible fixings. Thanks for your help.
You can get the parts for the ebony block maestro at Crazy parts: www.crazyparts.de/tremolos--vibrolas/vibrolas-aged/short-vibrola-tail-blocks/ Looks like right now they're out of Ebony... but have rosewoods, and you can inquire about the ebony availability. You need the low mount short vibrola, and the spoon arm for a 62. : www.crazyparts.de/tremolos--vibrolas/vibrolas-aged/maestro-vibrolas-new/gibson-short-flange-mount-vibrola-nickel.html www.crazyparts.de/tremolos--vibrolas/vibrolas-aged/vibrola-parts/maestro-teaspoon-arm-nickel.html
What kind of screws did you says those were, Scott? Sounded like "Calamar 6-60?"
Kalimar six sixty .. one of the cameras used to make Luke's macrobinoculars from ANH
@@scottjua Ah! Right on, man. That makes sense. You don't have any idea what size they are, do ya? They're the only piece I'm looking for to finish mine, and I'm just not finding what I'm looking for. I have some in mind, but I don't want to waste more money on the wrong ones. Thanks for the reply! I dig your work, my friend.
@@BiGFinK1960 No... they're very old tiny brass screws. No clue on the thread or size. Just scrap from those cameras that look the right size.

Sir, they look amazing! Can you share a little info on how you you did the chrome tape differently than with the stencils?
I apply the tape myself and hand do the work instead of relying on pre cut template sticker
Went into the local music store thinking I probably wasn't going to get it. 1. Love that is light weight vs. the heavy 80s? Gibson V 2. Also didn't have any issue standing or sitting and playing because it is lighter. 3. The sound is wow. 4 Quality, no issues with mine. Don't have 10k but if I did, I'd have issues playing the 80s one as I did so I'm loving this one. Extra $ to cover a bigger amp 🙂
Bro, you're killin' me with that super-loud music. Then I have to turn the volume back up again to hear you speak. Otherwise, good video - thanks!
You would love my sword collection even from the Edo period in the 1500-1700 of the General morie Moto inside HONER GAURD IN A WOODEN CEDAR BOX FROM OKINAWA JAPAN AND IT PRESERVE & ITS NOT PUT TOGETHER ITS STILL FREASH IN THE CEDAR BOX AND A CLEAR SLIDING ACRYLIC VINYL GLASS TYPE SEE THROUGJ ANTIQUES DISPLAY AND RAZER SHARP AND THE 24KRTGOLD LEAF INLAY CHARACTERS ON & ITS MAKER AND SHOWS WERE ITS BEEN FORGE AT ?
Good cuts dude nice
Which do you like better, Solos or Roman?
Solos hold
@@scottjua Is Solos more faithfully reproduced?
I know it's a prop but he's physically repulsing as a old gun enthusiast
I remember this video's awesomeness before KZread.
Where did you Get the magnetic antenna greeblies?
"Huawei"?!?! as in the chinese Huawei? I hope not
Nice build as always. And any info on those cool tidbits are always welcome.
Cool vid love it.
Love it! Seeing the complete blaster next to your own GK was a real treat; it was like two twin babies playing together 😄 Thanks again for the build Scott!
Pretty expensive kit, but it looks awesome. Great job, as always!
Would you say that modern steel is superior (although not historically accurate) compared to the traditional tamahagane katana steel?
Definitely
Nice work!!!
About tve tapering on the horn (and alsoat the bottom) that ”all modern reissues are like that” is not true! The horns on my 2007 custom shop V.O.S les paul 61 custom looks exactly like your vintage one. Slimmer and pointier. (Got pictures to proove it) 🙂 Same goes for tve pickguard.. more yellowish and more like your original one. Maybe they messed things up on more recent reissues?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
After a good setup, maestro works like a charm!
🔥
Amazing work as always - your attention to detail is impressive. Fun cameo by Chunky. :)
cat was like "oooh, i want to be in this video!"
that's just a fake Japanese sword. ugly.
Hey, Scott! Great video. A question, if I may: Looking at Roman’s site, which hilt is this? What is it called in the listing? Thanks in advance. Appreciate you!
bare wood best to my ear
I got mine when they first opened, where did you get the antenna parts for the heat sink?
This thing is beautiful when its brand new, but i bet after a while that steel will really dull down and rust unfortunately. How can you prevent something like that from happening?
You mentioned the adhesives a couple times - may I ask what your user is it a trade secret? I have found it's your part epoxy adhesives are usually the strongest (I like JB weld personally.)
Bro HOW did you get those mekugi out of there???
Looks like what is left over from a mid 60's Diana #5 air pistol - a valuable collector piece on its own. Modern #5 are still available, 3d print the retro grip halves and leave the old ones for us collectors please.
Handle goes along with periods and personal ergonomics
