Hello forum!  In my video review of the Spectre (my second, as I have also reviewed the Prophecy during the 3rd Video Rewards program) I attempted to answer a few common questions I've been seeing in the forum about the size, comfort, and weight of this saber. I am in love with this saber! It feels like it leaped right out of Star Wars and into my hand. I hope you enjoy the video. Please let me know if you have any other questions that I did not cover.

Nice. Too bad no blade view though, but still in one of my favorite blade colors though  |

Nice Spectre, I did not know that the handguard was removable as well. Good to know since I plan I’m ordering the emitter. Point

The guard and the shrowd surrounding the hilt can both be removed. The saber has to be seen and held to truly understand its awesomeness. |

Thanks for more insight. I think it looks good it just didn’t stand out in pictures. I do want to see it in person and weld it though, it will probably change my Mind about it. |

Thank you, I really wanted that Rebels look. The only feature I passed on was the D-ring. The one's with the windows and the engraved hilt also look amazing. |

Nice review, thanks a lot.  I like how you got into the weight and touched on something that people seem to overlook: steel swords are heavy. They're much heavier than a lot of aluminum sabers with polycarbonate blades. Of course, the weight will vary by sword, just as it does by saber. Also, the Aeon V3 isn't US's longest hilt by a long shot. They have several that are well over 12.25" long. But, it was a good size comparison, as many people are familiar with those sabers. |

Thanks so much for the video review. So I'm guessing the Spectre is comparable to the Scorpion? I love my Scorpion and I can not wait to get my hands on the Spectre. You've sold me on it. I was thinking about pulling the trigger and now it's going to be a done deal real soon. Point to you.

I was looking around and saw how big some of the large sabers are! You're right, the Aeon is not the biggest, but I'm glad I had one for a size comparison. The weight of the Spectre is a real plus for me. It doesn't feel like a baton or a toy when swinging it. It has real weight behind it and that adds to the joy of this saber. I use it to practice Kendo when I'm feeling the urge to mix things up a bit. |

Glad I could be of help. Did you end up ordering one? Did you go with any different options than mine? I've really enjoyed seeing all the different ways this saber can be customized! |

Beautiful saber! Looks great with just the straight black anodized body.
