Think about the cutting posibilities! Not having to worry about a blade and being able to cut anything without the traditional problems with cutting using blades and drills.

I want a plasma knife to cut my cheese.

I bet you $100 that someone will create some practical use cheese cutter using this tech. You melt it and cut it at the same time!

You could cut your steak off the cow and cook it at the same time!

well, i haven't checked the site in a couple of days. but damn, they've got aluminum machined sabers for 100 dollars now i got my PVC plastic 6 foot lightsaber for 75 like a month back and am looking to get a silver/white bladed one now.

i want to start a lightsaber collection. it may not be everyone's thing, but there are some really great designs out there.

100 dollars for an Oppressor is deal. or you can get the dual saber for 100.

i must get another soon. i do light graffiti so lightsabers are great for such activities.
