Does anyone have pictures in game of normal sized humans (marines, engineers, etc) holding the energy sword?
Problem with the energy sword prop is the massive hilt is hard for costumers to grasp. Makes sense because it was designed for an alien hand with four large fingers. Master Chief is human, but has no issue because his hands are huge too.
Attached pictures are me trying a few different grip types. Also available on https://flic.kr/p/EL1emr
The way Master Chief holds the hilt is the least comfortable, two fingers on either side. The last photo, with my thumb forward, is the most comfortable. The weight of the blades keeps the hilt balanced in my hand there.
Three fingers on one side is best when making swings.
