New Saber: Ultrasabers Reaper & Crimson Reaper

[digitalsithlord]

Me too!  Crimson reaper...BR blade with AS FOC....had a blast at their booth

[Racona Nova]

Will definitely be my next one ^^ Maybe the Crimson in CG and a green AV switch , but SY is also be possible...have really to think about that

[James Casey]

Well, I got a funny call in work today...

Turns out I've been underpaid for the last little while, and so next month will see a fairly tidy chunk of cash landing in my bank account

Now, there's bits of DIY to cover around the house, but even so I'm hopeful that by the end of next month I may just have my tricked-out Crimson Reaper in hand. Really looking forward to placing that order!

[Racona Nova]

Lucky one, I'm still looking for adequate jobs to apply for...only have a (in Germany so-called) mini job, 400€/540$ per month..that's not even a whole US with shipping, tax etc. xD But my next one will be the new Azure, that's already settled ^^

I wasn't expecting to by a saber so quickly till I saw this one. It looks awesome and from the sounds of things here nothing but good things are said all round. Only problem now comes to what saber to get next.

[Zren Tobas]

So you can take the bottom pommel off then? I still might get me a black Reaper but with a different pommel. Would look good with a Dark Shock pommel I think.

[Prowl 1701]

I'd love to get a customized Archon emitter that instead of being black on the neck is anodized that CR red.  Then get a classic silver Archon pommel and put them on the CR body.  I think would look sweet!

[Zren Tobas]

Can you have say a Manticore high pommel? That's what I'm getting with my Reaper and mine will be in VA. I'm liming the Reaper more and more. Don't know why I just don't shoot for one already.

Can you order a reaper without the claws? I know you can take them off but I would prefer not to have the screw holes left behind.

All going well I will be ordering my first US saber this week, which is looking like the reaper.

[James Casey]

You'd have to e-mail US to confirm ([email protected]) but I don't think you can. As far as I'm aware, they receive the complete hilts from their supplier, which I presume includes any drilling for the claw holes etc.

[Zren Tobas]

I want a Reaper but I'm waiting for the black one to come back in stock because I'm wanting to use the Manticore high pommel on mine. It'll be Blazing Red of course.

Hey Zren,  how about a crimson Reaper with the crimson scorpion pommel?

[Spensus]

So can anyone tell me about the size and weight of this thing? I ordered a scorpion saber and it was very sadly too big for my small stature, fortunately a friend of larger stature wanted to buy it from me. I am 5'8'' and 140 lbs so I like light, fast, and precise (Makashi Form) over power, unless I have a pike or something to provide extra leverage. So can this saber be handled one handed?

[Racona Nova]

I don't have the exact lenght, but this one is one of the longest hilts US provides. For you, Form II should be easier with the smaller, lighter hilts like the Aeon/Dominix, Archon, even the Manticore or the Shock. Taller or stronger people could also use it with the heavier hilts, but mostly these heavy things are supposed to be used two-handed, which disagrees with the Form II where you normally only use one hand.

It is not impossible, but difficult for smaller, "weaker" people.

[James Casey]

A comparison with a fair few other 'sabres that US offer. It's definitely one of the longer hilts, although quite a lot of that is down to the claws. It's not much longer, pommel tip to emitter tip, than the Bellicose.
