After I trimmed the claws on my Initiate V5, I wondered about this. I still want to get Sentinel V5 and try the window flip, but this makes a Dom V5 a little harder to resist. Great job and points for the share. Thanks

Great job swapping those claws, I certainly like them pointing up. I think it looks better and increases the function of that sweet top choke point. The emitter has a bit of a Tower of Saruman feel to it.
Was there some kind of retention screw in the emitter you loosened in order to switch the claws around?

Hello there and great work on flipping the claws, it looks so much better that way. Just as hazard as mentioned, how did you flip them? What tools did you use?

That looks great! The claws facing down and effecting people’s ability to spin the saber was something which concerned several people—and was thought to be impossible based on the way the claw fit into the grooves on the emitter. It seems the V5s actually give us option with inverting both claws an windows on various models. This will make a huge difference in their popularity. Kinda feel like US should include a tines up or down option when ordering though for those who may not want to do this themselves for whatever reason. And I have to agree, this really does look better and give the saber more attitude. Point for you, Studabeg5

Welp, I see a V5 in my future. Great work man, I was hoping they could be inverted! That looks so much better!

Great information Studabeg5 point!. Or two or three....
Well of course Infinit - how elese can you mix and match ALL the claw colours on ALL the Emmitters! it would be a crime not to have the full range of options! I'm thinking initiate LE gold claws on dark initiate LE emmitter as a start....swap some pommels...oooh the possibilities...2019 is going to be the year of the V5 customization i think!
