Saber Forum

I was going to put this in one of the existing topics, but I thought people might like seeing it. I had to double check my count to make sure I had them all. From oldest to newest, then:



And from shortest to tallest, per Lord Bladewraith's shots (http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=34189.0):



There may be some slight discrepancies as I was using a sofa rather than a flat surface to line them all up... :D

Very good collection. I don't think even Lord Bladewraith can rival you yet.

Really very impressive collection, JC.  I owe you another point - put it on my tab, please, since I now owe you quite a few  ;D

Let's see... if this was a shopping trip, and I could take any 4 sabers from your collection, I would take the Bane, the Dark Catalyst and the 2 Menaces.  They're all on my wishlist and especially seeing the side-by-side comparison of the Bane next to the Guardian, I now have no doubt on that one.  Nice, nice work, and thanks for the name mention on me. Taegin's right, my collection is no match for yours but it's a glimpse of what mine may become. It's really quite fantastic, bro, and I'm impressed. Really, though, good for you, bro...  ;D  I will tarry on...    ::)

Excuse me while I pick my jaw up off the floor. Wow James that's an amazing collection. What an incredible range of styles and sizes. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Hope to catch up one of these days :P How does that bane feel? About the same as the Bellicose size wise? been highly wanting me one. Think I might go Jedi side on mine though

Wow, that is an awesome collection there James. I just thought I was jealous of LB's collection! wow!

Dang, dude!  I knew you had a big collection, but this is epic.  ;D

Holy crap, hey now that you have most of them which one is your favorite and why?

Only one word.....sorry(mouth agape, clunks shut) Two words

"Hubba and hubba"

PS: Henceforth a Sabre shall always be a sabre(it is technically the correct terminology)

 ;D

The Crimson reaper looks like a heavenly beast, looking down on the other sabres with ill disguised contempt...!!

Had it in my basket several times but not pulled the trigger.

Thanks James, Great comparison tool that pic  :)

Points inbound everyone ?

Wow, my brain is in overlaod , US  could direct people to you to view products. That Curved Azure Reaper is pretty awesome. Kinda jealous. Nice Collection and a very well deserved point.

Excellent, James . . . +1  :)

AWESOME collection James, this is why I consider you to be the local authority on all things Ultra Sabers! +1 point to you my friend.

Thanks, all! Thought people might enjoy seeing them all :D

My favourite is my Bellicose - four years old, a bit battle worn and currently out of commission while I try and get the tools I need to replace the button. Once it's back up and running, I'm looking forward to taking it out again :)

Zren, the Bane is great; It's a heavier hilt than others, but I find it comfortable and well balanced - I think it's a great compliment to a Bellicose for a dual wielder.

Ya you definitely have some great sabers.  I don't know that I would feel the same way about the Bellicose, but then again I don't have any experience with it.  Thanks for showing those off. Those kind of pictures really help me gauge things.

Fantastic! 

If you happen to put a low profile pommel on the Lost Gray it stands as tall as a Menace, transforming it quite a bit.  I quite like the standard pommel though 8)


Points :)

I knew I had to click on this post once I saw the name--was curious about what your entire collection looked like!

Impressive....

I feel my eyes are going crazy, but on the first picture that regular Catalyst seems far taller than the Dark Catalyst. I know you said the sofa can lead to a little discrepancy, but they're so close together....

Congratulations on a fine collection!

Wow thats a hell of a collection there! Very nice stuff. What made you go with the blue and red reapers? Are you planning to add a curved saber like the Mantis?

The Catalysts are definitely identical, I've posted some side by side shots at http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=23606.0 - but my sofa is on its last legs, and definitely uneven in places :D

The blue Reaper was actually a raffle prize about 2 years ago, I think, back before US started selling them at 'cons. I ordered the red one before they even did blue ones; I wanted a red and black pair, and in fact I placed an order for the black one just last week :)

Very nice. You have some that I'm wanting to finish my collection too. Bellicose, Menace, Flamberge but mine will be LE, bane, Manticore, Consular for my brother, and Guardian as well =] I thought I had a saber problem :P

James... this is a beautiful diverse collection.  I tried numerous times to take pics of my collection but have now gifted, traded and stored away some of them.  Still have around the same amount of US sabers that are presently on my signature.

BUT... instead of giving up trying to take in focus photos of sabers lit up with blades... why oh why didn't I just line them up like you and LB did.  ::)

AND... you still want more lol.  Likely you will be entered in the upcoming raffle so Force wishes for an awesome win.

point & thanks for the share  8)

I think I need a prophecy....

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too.

I entered, and you can add a Reaper to my collection :) Have to take away the Electrum Wind, though, as that's found a new home.

Good luck to you in the raffle, JC, and congrats on the Reaper - fantastic!, but does this mean you're getting a new one with the Diamond board? Can't imagine any better reason for letting your Electrum Wind go. Care to share any details about that? Just curious, because I'm a huge fan of that hilt and cannot compute how I would ever be able to let go of mine.

Just didn't suit me. Beautiful hilt, stunning piece of engineering, appreciated everything that went into it... And could never quite find a comfortable grip on it when wielding it.

Such is life - No-one will suit every hilt they pick up; There's even people out there who don't click with a Bellicose or Sentinel :o

Agreed. I do love the Sentinel quite a bit.

I clicked with the Sentinel right away the first day I held it same with the Bellicose when I had that saber actually :P Highly recommend both to anyone, even the Dark Sentinel which I'll be getting here soon ;o

Amazing collection! Hopefully mine will look half as decent one day  ;)
I didn't know the Reaper was that large, glad I know before I buy! Thanks for sharing!

Wow, that is an INCREDIBLE collection, JC.  I really like the height disparity/comparisons between all of the different sabers.  OUTSTANDING pics^^  Thanks for sharing  :)

I think a red backdrop like that is the BEST possible color to display Ultrasabers collections against. It just makes all of them pop, including the Crimson Red hilts.  8)

It does work well, doesn't it? :) I use a white duvet for blade pictures, but red picks up the silver/gold and black/silver contrasts well, I think.

Yessiree  ;)

Glad I was able to see the Monarch next to other sabers, along with the one that I have. It looks like it would be a primarily one handed Saber in the checkout picture, but here side by side I'm able to see that's the opposite! Definitely helping me make my mind on a lot of Sabers that I want that you have in your collection!

ooooo colory  ;D

All you guys with your fancy displays.  Mine are literally just piled up inside of an old clothes hamper.

LOL I hear you Sam; my graflex has a glorious display... on my nightstand next to my bed  ;)
