This is my design play on the Energy Sword from Halo: Combat Evolved. However, it is NOT an energy sword from Halo. There are several very easily identifiable differences that I worked for a while to come up with.
The handle is much different, as it's more angular and slightly more ergonomic.
The blade is a different color, and the plasma has more solidity because of the sheer power of the output(1500kilowatts is a lot of energy...). Also, the blade is more angular, and the two sections are much closer together.
The overall length is longer than that of the energy sword, and the design is more rugged and stealthy.
