Ultrasabers Autumn Raffle 2016 Winners

[Old Bean Kenobi]

Just put my order in-went for a Scorpion and (another) Fulcrum (configured differently from the options I ordered on the raffle-winning Fulcrum).

These will be my first Emerald sabers, so I totally get how the folks getting their first sound sabers feel

Thanks again to all the US staff for being awesome, from everything from mundane customer service resolutions to managing mass chaos like the Ep 7 order glut to putting together treats like this.

I thought about getting another Fulcrum, too, and was thinking it'd be an awesome staff.

I can't see myself using the coupler, but if I ever did, I'd want it to be symmetrical with some model I had. The Fulcrum seemed the best match.

Congrats to all the winners, wow Lord Bladewraith, a grande price, so you get two more sabers with sound of your choice, two more for the colection. How many in two months already?? LOL...

What do you think about two Lost Gray's as a staff, since it's shorter?

That will make the total count in the "LB collection" a total of 13 sabers:
Grand Prize Saber 1, Grand Prize Saber 2, Archon V2.1, Bellicose, Fulcrum, Lost Gray, Electrum Wind, Dark Prophecy V3, Graflex CE, Consular, Apprentice LE V4, Dominix V3 and Liberator V3

Those last three are stunt sabers...

and yep, I realize I may have gone off the deep end but enjoying every minute of it

I could see it working physically/logistically, but personally the Lost Grey doesn't appeal to me personally as a saber (not a knock on US, the design and shotos in general just aren't the droids I'm looking for.)

Personally, I think the Lost Gray would make a fantastic staff (pending actually getting mine in hand).

And now i wait for my menace to come into stock so i can get my second place prize and 2 grab bag sabers ...

What's the length of your LG, without the pommel?

Exactly 10.5 inches.

[shade_1313]

Exactly 10.5 inches.

Okay, then let's do some comparisons to sabers that I have in staff form.

My Emerald Dark Menaces are just under 11", without the pommel.

My non-Emerald, non-recharge port Dark Menaces are just over 10", no pommel.

The Dark Apprentice V4s, that I have in staff configuration, are just under 9.5", no pommel.

Havoc's individual halves are 11.75", without pommel or coupler (all of the above have couplers, but since those are all the same size, I thought it would be best to go only with hilt measurments without any MHS stuff screwed in)

So, Lost Gray is midway between the two types of Menace hilts, a bit over an inch longer than my Dark Apprentice staff hilts, and considerably shorter than Havoc (but Havoc is a beast, so...), and the really crucial thing to remember is that the Menace emitter is quite long, as well as not a great place to grip the saber.  So, given that all of the sabers I measured work well as staves (your individual body's dimensions may vary, of course), and a Lost Gray is "grippable" for pretty much all of its length, I'd say it's very well suited to pairing up as a staff.  Which is an idea that's already long since come to me, and I'm mulling over, for later.  Maybe as a DiY.
