The two short side blades are a vent, not an ornament and not a hand guard. A cracked or unstable kyber crystal cannot hold the energy running through it, so the surplus bleeds off through lateral ports at the emitter base — which is also why the main blade burns ragged rather than clean. Ancient Sith hilts used the same arrangement. Kylo Ren's saber is the example everyone knows, and it has a page of its own.
A crossguard hilt puts more weight ahead of your grip than a standard emitter, so it favours a committed two-handed style over quick wrist work. The quillons sit close to your hands, limiting how far you can choke up and how freely you can spin. Treat the side blades as part of the silhouette rather than a working parry guard.
Two blade formats run here. Base Lit pairs with the RGBX soundboard and is the best-value way in. Neopixel pairs with Xenopixel V3 or Proffie V2.2, lighting the blade along its full length with flash-on-clash. Colour and effects live on the soundboard rather than being fixed at build, so one hilt can run any profile you like.
This format splits two ways, so read the product page. Some hilts are built for duelling and spinning, sharing components with our modular parts system. Others are display and cosplay pieces we advise against duelling with, because of the side blades or folding quillons. For contact sparring a round-blade duelling lightsaber is safer. Check blade diameter too, so replacement blades fit. Free mainland UK shipping and a 12-month warranty apply throughout.
A hilt with a main blade plus two short side blades, or quillons, set at or near right angles just above the grip. The name comes from a medieval sword's crossguard.
To vent energy an unstable crystal cannot contain. Any hand protection is a by-product rather than the reason for it.
On most models here, yes: fully lit side blades run the same effects as the main blade. On folding-quillon designs the crossguard is mechanical and only the main blade lights.
With some of them. Modular combat hilts take contact; display-first models are ones we advise against duelling with because of the side blades. The product page says which.
No. He made it famous, but this collection also holds Jedi-styled hilts and original designs with no character attached.
Yes — replacement quillon blades are sold as a set of two in our blades collection. Check the listing's fitment note against your hilt.
