VERY COOL. It's probably not likely I'll pick one up, but still....that's a good looking saber. I think I'd prefer yellower gold accents and a smaller size for the saber; however, I'm loving the fact that the non-illuminated switch is standard (I think black would look FANTASTIC), the emitter has Liberator-like windows, and that the emitter and pommel are MHS compatible. The pommel might look REALLY good on my Initiate LE V4.
I'm curious as to what that textured section is made of, and why the covertec wheel has to be a bit different than the other covertec wheels US offers.
But even if I don't get this saber, I am TOTALLY getting the new coupler--that's just plain sexy.
Awesome job, Ultrasabers--NO ONE has a saber or coupler like this on the market.

So I've been staring at this bad boy and the more I look at it - I think it's a very clever re-engineering of the Scorpion in terms of the hilt mechanics! And I know a thing or two about that one. Check it out! Look at the area all around the switch; it looks like that switch is mounted to an inner-sleeve that houses the electronics - just like the Scorpion. So they probably install the electronics in the inner sleeve . . . slide it in the shroud . . . wire the AV Switch & mount the Gold thingamadoodles once inside the Shroud . . . put in the retention screws in the Grip area to hold the inner sleeve so it doesn't rotate & break the Gold pieces or the switch . . . and the Emitter screws into the inner sleeve on top . . . and BAMF! . . . Electrum Wind!

Winning? Is that what you think it's about? I'm not trying to win. I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun. God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent! And above all, it's kind! It's just that. Just kind.

Also, I only later realized that the skunk you showed is the actual Skunk Works logo, so now you get another -1 point.

As far as size goes, width in specific: the Graflex is one of our best selling sabers and customers love it all around for both display and use. I've never heard a single opinion voiced over it's width. And the grips on the Graflex are slightly wider than the grips on the Electrum Wind.

I really like this. Th Mace Windu hilt is a fantastic design and the UltraSabers version does it justice without being an exact duplicate. Since I have long hands, I don't see the 1.6 inch grip section being an issue for me. In fact, I may find it quite comfortable.
Seeing this and the Fall sale males me glad I skipped the last sale. Not only do I have more money right now than if I'd ordered, but I can get one if these with Lite sound and save more than I would have with free shipping. So, I'm probably going to order one after I get paid next week.

The more I look at this, the more I think how awesome it will look hanging off the belt of my newest costume which will be made very soon.... And when your husband comments it'll suit your TOR costume, you know you have the tick of approval only reason I haven't hit the buy button yet is coz I have a policy not to impulse buy expensive things, I must consider it a couple of days first

I haven't handled a Flex, but I do own a CO. I have pretty big hands which make the linear grips easier to grasp. But seeing as how they create points similar to a hexagonal profile, they aren't the most comfortable to duel with, but they're not "OMG my hand is killing me" uncomfortable. I would say that considering that the EW has more grips, putting less space between them that it would be more comfortable than the Flex. (But still......who doesn't want a Graflex?)
