Suggestion Box/Wishlist: what do we want from Ultrasabers?

[Zren Tobas]

Diamond knurling option for the Graflex for if we want a full on Anakin ROTS look for it would be cool Like have it as a new design option or stick with the smoothed version, would be called Knurled or smooth

The Monarch is only 11" long, one of the smaller hilts they offer, outside of the Initiate and Apprentice sabers... when compared to a Reaper or Mantis, though, it's tiny. But I do agree, more 1-handed sabers would be nice

The Monarch is ridiculously heavy though despite its length, which really cuts down on the feasibility of wielding it one-handed unfortunately. I was in the same boat as OP, except I actually bought it and figured out how heavy it is afterwards lol. I still like mine, but it's more of a decorative hilt than a dueling one most of the time. It'd be cool to see a V2 version that's a little slimmer though, because it does look like the perfect shape for a one-handed grip

Total opposite for me. I find it to be a great weight for a one-handed hilt.

Also someone mentioned the Reaper and Mantis which I also use as one-handed hilts.

I think the Malice and the Omen are the only two sabers I own that I always use with two hands.

[Taegin Roan]

I totally agree on the shorter hilts. I'd love to see a Sidious inspired hilt, that could easily be as small as an Apprentice or Initiate.

You're talking about a shoto?

Yes, precisely.

[Darth Logos]

Yes, precisely.

Talk to Isola. He's the only one I've seen successfully make a shoto length saber out of US components.

The main issue is that US uses a very simple and standard setup for their internals. Although this limits what they are capable of producing, it also keeps costs down, which in turn, keeps expense down for us. (good times) The other thing to keep in mind is that US first and foremost makes combat sabers. And although they can double as wall/belt candy, they also need to be able to uphold the reputation of durability. However, IMO, if sound is not important to you, I can recommend an Ini V2 as a good candidate for use as a shoto. It's light, short, and narrow. I have an 18 on mine and love it.

[MavRick]

I agree with Logos on this. ^^^^^^

[Rekr Grim]

I would love to see a saber that has adjustable color rather than binary.  In other words have dials that dim each LED instead of an on/off button, that way you could have all sort of shades of colors! =D

No dials, but Emerald and Diamond have that very ability.

I wish every MHS compatible component was available in the US online store, to include every saber body, every pomel, every emitter, every chip...everything.

I'll have to do that, thank you for the great insight!

No problem

Email what you're shopping for, and they'll quote you how much to purchase in Requisition Charges. It's a little slower, but effective.

I wish that the information that you can purchase any MHS compatible component and the requisition process was clearly displayed on the "build your own" section of the website

That would be convenient.

They probably don't so that only the most determined will go through the process. It also helps eliminate purchases that lead to disappointment. Like how all claws are not interchangeable with any clawed emitter. Which then reduces the number of negative comments from the uninformed that US sold them a bad bill of goods.
