Cabbagefarmer´s Force Pike based on ROTJ!

I like the red one. I'm very happy with my pike.

Would you consider making switchable bases for me, like the one with the rubber grips and brass color?

On CE 2 Europe there was a raffle on the 501st Dinner on saturday 7.27.2013! As one of the prices there for I donate a Force Pike! Lucky Winner was a member of the German Garrison! May he will become a TR some day The earnings for the raffle get into charity!

My new hilt arrived today! It's so much better than the smooth version. I love the rubber grips.

To all potential new Imperial Guardsmen (of which I am one) and those that are already in the ranks, yet are still looking for an amazing pike, Cabbagefarmer is a guardsman you should talk to.

What Cabbagefarmer sent me is a masterpiece of machined engineering. Simple, elegant and if you could say that a "prop" replica is beautiful, then that is what it is. Please note that I have seen truly amazing designs of spikes on this website and I commend you all for your talents. However, I now own an original CF force pike of exquisite German engineering.

I could not be happier! Thank you CF!!!

After some lively discussion with Sascha, we both decided to develop a Force Pike with light and sound. Sascha does all the electronic devices and my part was to create the body for this Force Pike!

Finally we made a prototyp which works awesome

The top with acryl glass Rasp:

The hilt, inside there are all electronic parts!

Sascha will do some informations about the electronic topic!

On this Image you can see the lightning effect of the rasp in daylight.

I used some exceptional electronics on this.
Its a high power LED in royal-blue with an output of 3,5W.
The driver for the LED and the sound is placed on a plecterlabs Nano Biscotte board.
So at the moment it sounds like a sith-lightsaber with swing, clash and humming sound.
I am currently working on alternative sound which fits better.
You can hear the sound through a 2W 8 Ohm speaker which has a maximum output of 98 db.
You can hear the pike even with your helmet on.
The humming gives a light vibration in the knob where the speaker is placed.
So you can feel that the pike is powered too.
For the power source i used 4 times 1,4V 2700mAh NiMh rechargeables which are using
most of the space in the hilt. Also for cooling the LED there is a 3cm long full aluminium block used
which prevents the hilt from melting away when you light the pike up for more then just a few minutes.
These high power LED are emitting quite a lot of heat.
For all of this just getting out of the beta-phase it has become a pretty nice piece of work.


So hope you enjoy the next generation of fully operational pikes from CF and me.

Are these pikes still available for sale?
