Curved-hilt lightsaber

The curved-hilt lightsaber was a type of lightsaber utilized by the Sith during the Clone Wars. Its curved hilt design allowed the lightsaber duelist to slash and lunge at their opponent with greater precision. In the last years of the Galactic Republic, the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus wielded a curved-hilt lightsaber. His choice of weapon was emulated by the Dark Jedi Asajj Ventress, who possessed two curved-hilt lightsabers which doubled as a saberstaff when joined together.
