The Phoenix Warrior’s Blade

As we gear up for the launch of MASTERPIECE by Sabertrio, today we're taking a short trip back in time to revisit a rather special project that we worked on late last year. Indeed, the best part of commissioning a Masterpiece is that YOU have the creative choice to decide what exactly goes onto the saber's hilt, and this project is one great example of it!

Takanashi Kiara is a very well known phoenix warrior Virtual YouTuber with almost 1.5 million subscribers at the time of writing this. Our mission was to create a themed lightsaber of her, and the owner himself had selected the Vektra as the hilt of choice.

Starting from the top, the KFP logo, which stands for Kiara Fried Phoenix and is synonymous for her fanbase, was etched prominently within the frame of the saber's emitter sleeve. From there, we meticulously traced and enhanced the design elements of Kiara's sword & shield, and applied the intricate patterns to the switch section and main grip area of the Vektra. At the behest of the owner, fiery phoenix feathers were added to the bottom portions of these elements while Kiara's name in Japanese was etched all around the Covertec wheel band.

The entire hilt was acid etched and as a result, features rustic textured surfaces that greatly contrasted with all the designs that were applied on to it. Should Takanashi Kiara ever wield a lightsaber, we trust that this Masterpiece would perfectly suit her.

MASTERPIECE by Sabertrio is launching this September 23rd @ 9am EDT with limited commission slots. Its dedicated page will be going live within the next few days for everyone to preview the details and prices of it. We're definitely super excited to be working on many interesting projects with you all, especially ones such as this!
