The DM Shadow is our entry price Maul model combining the DM I Hero hilt with the Count's apprentice in its entry price design also.
To achieve this pricing, the difference with the high end DM CW7 hero saber and Count's Apprentice hero saber is in the aluminium polishing and finishing process, the the use of some generic parts utilized throughout the lightsaber range (like the buttons and some other mobile parts), whereas the more high end model is completely bespoke through and through.
It's built as two unique lightsabers that connect together with a specific coupler, included in your box. They'll always work independently in terms of electronics so you can even choose different colors or different sound fonts for each side of the staff.
The coupler mechanism is included and the threads are VHC, meaning that these hilts are compatible with our VHC accessories and most importantly with the Quick Release Coupler.
The included coupler allows for precise alignement of the two hilts, so you can perfectly align the two as you wish.
ADDITIONAL 1-2 WEEKS PRODUCTION TIME : Note that the weathered look is achieved through manual process and no two sabers will look alike. It may end up looking different from the pictures. An additional week or two of work may be required for this specific saber. It is also a new model in high demand with the release of the new series.
Like all of our amazing sabers, this hilt is made of aluminium 6063. Every saber boasts stunning finishes on a great build with strong materials to offer either the best reproduction of a legendary design or a very comfortable and yet stylish dueling weapon.

SABER CONFIGURATIONS
Here's a simple breakdown of our available configurations. See our "Which version to choose ?" info box above for more details.
- 🥉Standard : the base model with a Xeno 3 board, featuring rich sounds, lots of effects and customizable through a mobile app or via SD card. Standard sabers are baselit sabers with a lighter blade made for heavy dueling. Perfect if you plan on doing cosplay or stunt/duel performances or if you simply don't need the neopixel blade.
- 🥈Premium : it's our most wanted option! The same Xeno 3 board but with a neopixel blade. The high density LED strip in the blade allows for an amazing look and tons of visual effects. Now customizable through a mobile app and, as usual, via the SD card.
- 🥇Deluxe : for the coders amongst you, completely customizable effects and styles thanks to the Proffie v2.2 board, here with one function button. There's no better neopixel lightsaber than this. If you like getting your hands dirty (mostly your keyboard) and mod the things around you to suit your needs, you'll love this !
DIMENSIONS
- 📐 Dimensions of the hilt : 61cm / 24 inches in total length, each hilt weighs approx. 500 g / 0.85 lbs
- 📐 Dimensions of the blade : it's our 1 inch diameter standard, then you choose between 72, 82, 92 cm (28, 32 or 36 inches) for the length. Polycarbonate thickness is 2mm for Standard sabers and 3mm for Premium and Deluxe sabers.
- 📏 Recommended length of your lightsaber : a lot of academies and fencing federations request that the total length of your dueling saber stays between 100 and 110cm (39.4 to 43.4 inches). The blade usually sits inside the hilt for about 5 to 7 cm (2 to 3 inches). If you mean to use your saber in an official setting, be careful and choose the appropriate size, if you don't care for this, go for the longer blade length : 36 inches / 92 cm.
