WRITE REVIEW
The same contact saber, balanced forward instead of back.
On the 24 inch (61 cm) blade it is a 607 gram contact prop with its balance point about 61 cm (24 in) from the tip, right where the blade meets the handle. One hilt instead of two, and a bare Silicone Cap Mount with no steel weight in it, so the balance sits roughly 10 cm further forward than the Contact Saber Kit and the whole prop is 304 grams lighter. It leads the turn instead of sitting in it, which is what you want for wheel plane and fast direction changes.
18, 24, 30 or 36 inch blades (36 inches assembled on the 24), 16.7 million colors, and it comes apart into parts we sell individually.
Why it costs more than the Saber Kit: it adds the Silicone Cap Mount and a black Silicone Saber Cap for the rear.
Specs (measured on the 24 inch / 61 cm build; a longer blade adds length and weight and moves the balance toward the tip)
What is in the box
Which contact saber is for you
These are the same saber in two balance setups. This one carries less metal and costs less, so pick on how you want it to feel rather than on price.
The Contact Saber Kit parks mass at both ends and puts the balance point at the buttons. It turns slowly, damps wobble, and is the one to ride a roll on.
This Forward Balance build takes the steel weight out of the rear mount and drops one of the two handle extensions. Less mass behind your hand pulls the balance forward to the tube adapter, and the prop loses 304 grams. It accelerates faster, it costs less to stop, and the lit end leads. Shorter handle, quicker hands.
What it is made of
The lit section is an 18 to 36 inch (46 to 92 cm) impact-resistant polycarbonate Saber Tube running over an RGB Critter BT. The handle is the Critter's grippy silicone body, where your hand lands, plus one Saber Handle Extension in grooved aircraft-grade aluminum that grips too. A clear Silicone Saber Cap goes on the blade tip and a black one on the rear, so the parts that meet the floor are the parts designed to.
The rear hardware is the Silicone Cap Mount on its own: the same machined aluminum adapter the Counterweight System is built around, with an empty bore. The bore is the tuning knob. Slide a Contact Saber Weight in later and you have moved this build most of the way back toward the Contact Saber Kit.
It comes apart, and every part is one we sell
Nothing here is bonded or specific to this build. Every component threads, clamps or press-fits onto the same RGB Critter modular system, so you can change the blade length, swap the pattern, chain a second hilt, add rear weight, or move the light into a staff later. This is a starting point, not a sealed product.
Measured on the 24 inch Sol tube: two different handles, to scale. The lime ring is where each one balances.
Weighed by hand on real 24 inch builds, battery in. The second hilt and counterweight are where the extra weight lives. A longer blade adds length and weight and moves the balance toward the tip.
What’s in the box
One handle extension and an empty Silicone Cap Mount pull the balance up to the adapter. Every part is sold on its own, so you can add the weight later.

Modular by design
Every saber, staff and contact saber is built on the same RGB Critter BT Light Engine, threaded at both ends. Pick a build and watch it come apart.
RGB Critter BT Light Engine
On its own it is a color-changing flashlight. The end cap twists off to reveal the second thread, and that is where every build starts.
Saber Kit
Front: tube adapter, saber tube, twist-on cap and a clear Silicone Saber Cap over it. Back: the end cap moves onto a handle extension.
Contact Saber Kit
Same front as the saber. Back: a second handle extension and the counterweight kit with a black Silicone Saber Cap, so it balances for contact moves.
LED Staff Kit
Back: a second Critter, joined by the Critter Connector. Front: a saber tube on each end, each tipped with a clear Silicone Saber Cap, 23 to 83 inches overall.
Same front thread, no adapter needed
