The RazeLighter is a funny sword in that the blade doesn't extrude from the centre of the hilt, it's crystal does, and the blade (in true gaming fashion) is magically secure further towards the edge of the cross-guard. Because of this it is secured with magnets and one load-baring nut&screw. Part of the Exotic Swords collection from Destiny (videogame). Convention-Safe version commission. Hoping to make as kits to sell online in the near future.(both resin and con-safe foam)

I also included other symbols relating to the warrior and created and ancient Egyptian form of the Assassin's emblem for the piece.
