If you're not yet crafting, Synthweaving is actually pretty good crafting set for Knights. You can fill six slots on yourself and two of your companions, and as long as you keep your crafting in line with your level, you'll always be well geared.

Other options include:
Cybertech for the armor and mods... you'll have to lay out some money to get oranges for everyone, but eventually you'll be able to keep everyone current in all slots but implants. You will need to buy enhancements, barrels/hilts, and crystals, but it's not too expensive if you also use commendations, and you'll also be able to kit out T7.

Artifice for the lightsaber stuff, crystals, and enhancements. If you go the orange route, this will give you all the enhancements you need, but mods and armor can be expensive. Still, you can craft some neat lightsabers.
Hmm. When the time came to pick skills, I went with Artifice because apparently that's for lightsabers, Archeology because apparently that's for getting the right parts, and Diplomacy because it just seemed right.

Yeah, I just haven't taken the time to get a good grip on the different parts, or learned how to craft one worth a damn.



This allows you to keep the same look from ~level 25-30 (Which is when you would finally be able to get an Orange set of Boots, Gloves, and a helmet, chestpiece, and pants) to level 50, and if you can find a player crafted version of that look, you can keep it even in the endgame.
A signature look that actually lasts? Sounds good.
