Exhibit No. 023
ExhibitDragon Battle Ascend
Some slides in the original post were videos; still frames are shown here.
This Exhibit is made by one of the earliest pioneers among saber smiths, Rob Petkau of Genesis Custom Sabers (GCS). Rob truly set the bar for custom sabers in the days when there were barely a handful of saber smiths. Today, GCS makes some of the most gorgeous saber designs, in both production sabers and custom pieces.
This Exhibit features a lightsaber customised from the Ascend, named the Dragon Battle Ascend. The Ascend is a battle-ready saber fit for duelling. Powder-coated in Dragon’s Blood for a deep yet vibrant red, the saber is etched with dragons locked in combat, with an additional custom shroud. The saber has CFX Neopixel for light and sound, as well as an OLED screen with a red filter allowing interchangeable red and white OLED colours depending on which dragon is in control.
