Putting the kit parts together, here's what I've used:
-1"ID x 24" PVC Pipe (Schedule 40)
-Stainless steel ...

I was reviewing the Crimson Empire comics for reference images and was noticing the inconsistent construction of the glaive. At times both cutting edges face the same direction, at others they are oriented in opposite. Same for the fins on the emitter/pommel.

Leather craft stores will carry these. There is sometimes a larger or smaller groover, the one I used cuts about a 3/32-ish ...
