Saber Forum

Ultrasabers is proud to present the Flamberge. The new Flamberge brings the highly requested Crossguard style emitter to the Ultrasabers lineup. The Flamberge is of course fully made of T6 Aircraft Aluminum and combat ready. The Flamberge will be available in 4 different finished: High Polish, All Black Anodize, Black Anodize with Silver Accents, and Nickel Plated Finish. All 3 blade holders are MHS compatible and exchangeable with other MHS parts. The Flamberge is able to accommodate sound installs, Emerald LED driver installs, and has a MHS compatible pommel as well.

This is a large saber but it is surprisingly light weight for its size which make it a great saber for younglings and adults alike. The length of the hilt make it great for two handed combat but its lighter weight make it possible for one handed combat with practice. The Flamberge comes standard with a 40" or 36" main blade. And also has the option for 6" or 8" blades for the crossguard.

Here are some numbers as measurements for our customers that like to analyze the numbers. The Flamberge is 1.5" wide at the grip and 14" long from the top of the main emitter to the bottom of the pommel. It is 5.5" wide from emitter the end of the left emitter to the end of the right emitter (4.75" without the emitters).  The standard crossguard emitters add 0.375" in height. With 6" blades from left tip to right tip the saber is 16.5" long. With 8' blades from tip to tip the saber is 20.5" long.  The Main blade holder has a 3.5" deep blade socket.  The left and right blade holders have 1" blade sockets.

The saber comes completely assembled and ready to go. The pommel and emitters are removable and compatible with TCSS MHS parts. Sound and the Emerald LED driver are also available options.

Both Standard Setup and Li-Ion Setup work perfectly for a Flamberge with No Sound. However, Li-Ion Setup is mandatory in order to add sound or the Emerald driver to the Flamberge.

IT LOOKS SO COOL!!  ;D
I WANT IT.

Ooh, that looks super cool. Great job on this new saber, guys!

There has been an awakening  :)

Yeah I'm sold for sure. Going all out on mine, well, just standard Obsidian set up but that's all I'm saying for now. ;o Now we need a font made to match the saber as well. Finally some Episode 7 cross guard saber love. :P

OMG... I think that my heart skipped a few beats!  What color of blade is this and do you think that these are 6" or 8" blades in the video.  I like the look of it without the short blades on.  More flame like with the LED shining through.  Wonder if can be ordered with pointed tip on blades.   Do we know when the pre-order deadline is.  Haven't checked the US site yet.  :o  ;D

Job well done Ultrasabers. This thing looks amazing! And you guys got it designed and in preproduction in no time flat! Just goes to show why Ultrasabers are THE #1 sabersmiths in the business.

Exciting stuff US!  Not my cup of tea per say but no denying it looks amazing.  I can't imagine how many custom variations this could turn into depending on the end users plans.  Great work guys!

Just a heads up.  Flamberge was just the name given to the prototype.  It doesn't mean that the name will stick for the official release.  Also doesn't mean it will change for the official release.  But just wanted to be clear that Flamberge was just the codename given during production and prototyping.  Sometimes we keep those code names and sometimes we change them for release.  Only time will tell...  :)

I was waiting for that Maul prototype to be released to get my next sith saber but this, is just pure awesome. Even looks like the hilt from the trailer for the most part. Consider me stoked and waiting to pre-order.

As far as names go...... How about "The Stephen Colbert"

^^^Lol. Can't wait to see other new sabers later in the year. Now we also need a new Jedi counter part saber as well

So I'm trying to pre-order this now and I'm trying to apply the free grab bag offer and it doesn't seem to be working. Any help is appreciated.

Think the free Grab Bag is over now unless another one is up. Usually you gotta enter the coupon code in the coupon box before placing final order. Should be on there

I've done that and it says it ends on the 25th so I should be good, but once again, not seeing a change in price

Nevermind, I see why its not working.

Stunning hilt. Just as I was thinking my collection was complete... :o

I agree with you James.  I was thinking of buying only two more, a Graflex and a Manticore.  Now US introduces the Flamberge.  Despite all the negative comments I've seen online about the cross guard lightsaber seen in the Ep VII trailer, I think the idea is intriguing.  I will definitely be getting one of these.  Now I have to decide which finish I want.  The black with silver highlights is very appealing.

So does that mean that the pommel will be available at the same time? Coz I likes the pommel!

OMG!!!
I WISH you guys had a trade-in program because I would GLADLY trade the Emerald Crimson Reaper I just got for this in a heartbeat!!!!!

You guys don't miss a beat. It looks superb.

Yet again, amazing work! This saber made me finally register to this forum lol.

I too would like to see pointed crossguard blades and maybe an option for 3" blades.

Just when I thought I narrowed down my purchase. I sure hope we can get the sound from the VII trailer to go with. Since we all know the crossguard saber emits a completely different sound. A more crude, staticky and raw vs the precise, smooth, humming sound were all used to.

SO AWESOME!!!!!  I'm totally sold!  I'm getting this as soon as I save up enough!

Holy ball rolling droids!!!! This thing looks insane! I'm not sure if I want it or not, but soooooo much customization!!!!

I knew you'd be stoked over this. Yet despite my complaints over the varient concept, I'm still getting one. Bravo US

I'd like to see it combat tested before I buy. I'm also willing to demo too if prodded ;)

I agree, that is a nice looking pommel.

I really like how sleek and smoothe the hilt is leading up to the crossguard.  Not really a fan of the overall concept but US did a great job designing this one.  I might have missed it but is the entire crossguard section removeable to use the main hilt like a regular saber? 

Quick question does this use 1 LED unit or 3?

Concluding from the order page it must have 3 LED units because you can choose colours for the main blade, left blade and right blade independently :o At an additional charge for the secondary LEDs though...

Wow, this thing is intense!  I figured that UltraSabers would be all over this concept given the buzz online after the Ep. VII trailer premiered, but I never thought it would be this quick!  Bravo guys, it looks killer.

Funny that you should comment on the name, Flamberge though, Deep.  Sounds French and I don't speak French, but Flamberge sounds like something to eat, to me. 

"Yes, we'd like to order the Flamberge with caramel and walnuts, please, and an extra spoon for my lady friend."

LOL it's more of a visual thing.  It provides an image to go with the name.  I agree though, I like the way it looks when I see the name written, but actually saying it, that's a different story  :D :D :D

RIP battery run time.

I might pick this up to go alongside my NA crossguard saber, one for costume, one to bash and duel with.

Ah, just looked it up, Flamberge = flaming sword.  Very fitting.  Anyway, I like it.  May have to update the "want" list.

Yeah, I was having the same thought about the battery runtime as well.  May need to convert to an 18650 battery or something.

 

This visual appearance of this saber is indeed stunning!  I have a question about this saber as an Emerald saber.  Will the Emerald driver control all three LEDs or just the main blade LED?  If the Emerald driver will control all three LEDs, can each LED be configured to a different color or will all three LEDs be the same color?

For an extremely long list of reasons, the Emerald Driver only controls the main blade.  Powering 3 10W LEDs wouldn't leave you with any run time.  As we have the saber made now the run time is almost unchanged.  In addition the current draw with up to 12 high powered diodes on all at once would be epic, the Emerald driver could not handle that kind of current draw.  There are quite a few other reasons as well.

But the simple answer is, no you can not use the Emerald driver to change the color of the two crossguard blades. The color you select in the listing is the color they will always be unless you change the LED.

That all makes sense.  Here's another question.  It appears that the covertec wheel is not a standard installation on the Flamberge.  If the installation of the covertec wheel is requested, what are the appropriate "expressions" to define where on the hilt I want it installed?

Oh wow, that hilt looks nice!  US is getting this one out pretty quick, which is awesome.  Think I like the high polish option.  I'm not sure about blade color yet, maybe VA (in standard MG) with a blue AV switch.

Nice to see you guys moving quickly on this one, Deep!  Hope to see some comparison pics between the 6" and 8" side blades on the saber soon.

For a covertec wheel that is optional on a saber, I would say that you would request placement in relation to the switch. This is what I did when I ordered my Manticore CE. I believe I stated "to the bottom left of the switch, just above the pommel. In similar location as on the Archon."
This is just to give you an idea of how I went about it, hope it helps.

i want the body, and the pommel.... 6.6

Wow that new saber looks great ;D! I will definitely have to update my wishlist now!

 :D :D

    I could picture myself walking in the snow wearing black and turning this bad boy saber on like the crazy man that I am lol. :D :D

Me too ;D (with the jedi temple march or the imperial march in the background of course)

Master Uilos and I have been talking about this thing all day, we'd love to field test it.  I bet I could even get Master Artorius to come out of his cave on Tatooine...

Will be sure to include those in the official release.  I had some on my desk when shooting the video but it completely slipped my mind.  The blades in the pictures and in in the video are 6" on the saber. 

Also, 6" and 8" blades will be available on the website down the line.

I totally knew this was going to happen as soon as I saw the Trailer for Star Wars 7.

I said to myself "I wonder how long till Ultrasabers make one like that."

So much awesome! ^_^

cstoehr, as I was going thru the order process (just playing with what I'd decide) I thought about Emerald and decided if that was my option I'd go with AS for the left and right LEDs so I can change up the colour discs when I changed the Blade colour... Otherwise, I'm really thinking about the Dark LE version with SRD for all 3 LEDs... Fun thinking about it at the moment...  :)

Yep, I volunteer as tribute. A lot of questions from people about whether it's combat ready--some from
Me, actually-- and having a few videos by TPLA/NYJ may add a few more sales.

I would totally test drive the new saber if possible. Mine would have to be all Blazing Red with Sentinel Yellow FOC, in hilt re-charge, and all Ultra Edge Heavy Grade blades with the guard blades being at 8 inches and the all black hilt. I'll have to construct a new Sith uniform for this one

Good point. I was thinking Arctic Blue main with a silver crossguard... but I'd forgotten about the colour discs. Really, my gut instinct is to go Fire Orange... but I've got three orange 'sabres now, and really I should go for some variety :D

With this attached to 3-4 Yari Extensions,

I could build a.... I could build a.......

....

I COULD BUILD a SCYTHE!!!
...
Wait, you aren't going to say no?

Ultrasabers: "Build away, whatever your names is."

SCYTHE!!  SCYTHE!!! SCYTHE!!!!

(and maybe a tonfa as well as a proper halberd)

I feel your pain. I'm about to order an Archon, that I want in BR. It would be the fourth out of 5 sabers that I had delivered in a Sith blade color. But in keeping with my plans for "Operation: Rainbow Arsenal", I decided to stick with my initial spec of CG w/ disconnects. And to satisfy my terminal impatience, I'm getting a separate MLS unit in BR. That way I don't have to wait to see the Archon in red until I buy a Malice. Word.

I too had a question on varying the guard colors. Have you guys also eliminated the possible use of disconnects for any of the emitters?

I noticed in the video that when you were exchanging the emitters that you accidentally started unscrewing part of the crossguard itself. Is that end MHS compatible as well? Say if someone only had two LEDs could they unscrew the LEDless part and plug the hole with something like a low profile pommel to prevent internal damage?

Hi.  Everyone has great questions and suggestions.  Have an order placed in the cart but now am going to have to reconsider.  Thankfully we have to the 25th to decide.  Keep them coming.  :D

Waxman I was just thinking that! Put the two 6" blades on the top and on one side, then a 32-24" blade on the other side with 2 yaris and BOOM! instant DEATHSCYTHE!!!!

umm, were gonna need a picture on that one buck'o...cause i got my own idea, but that sounds wicked in its own right

I'm really thinking about it....I actually have a setup priced out. I feel like I might go with the LE one in CG stunt. Plus one more yari and a few black flush couplers.

What's your plan Genkaku? Or is it a secret?

Does this also apply to flash on clash? For example, if I were to order it with blazing red w/ silver FoC, would all three blades (all red) be equipped with FoC or just the main blade?

JediXIX, I was thinking something similar, using silver for the cross bar blades without color disks though, and getting the four channel emerald for the main blade.  The difficulty is deciding what cross bar blade colors would be compatible with different main blade colors.  Arctic Blue might another widely compatible color for the cross bar blades.

Do you (US) know how much you are going to charge for the two crossgaurd blades when they are actually in stock?. I really want one but I don't have the money right now :(. When is the pre-order deadline? Sorry if I missed something on any of these questions.

I just got this question answered today via email.. and the same concept that applies to the Emerald Driver applies to FoC. ONLY the main blade will be affected.

Keyword: FIRST Crossguard Style Ultrasaber.

I wonder if the final version will allow Quick-Disconnect for Sabers with Sound, in the very least?

Speaking of 'sounds' wicked. Are there any other Gundam fans out there that feel we should try to convince them to produce a decent "Beam Saber" sound font? Can I get an "AMEN"?

Go take a look in the Obsidian Order section and you will find one there. Yes it is from Gundam Wing.

I haven't seen anything that I haven't already downloaded, unless they added it to an exsisting font. But I'm not sure I was able to test out the Dominux Nox font.

That's more of a collection of sound effects from Gundam Wing than it is a true "Beam Saber" sound font. It uses the effects like an Aries taking off and landing for the power on and power off settings and so forth. Not that I'm complaining about it but two Gundam sound fonts are better than one.

Is this saber part of the 15% off sale or just a pre-order?  Does anyone know if all blades can be ordered with pointed tips?  And finally, can US install a darker font (during build) for those that lack the skills or the courage to change the Obsidian sound board font on the computer.  I am hoping that these questions can be answered on the forum just incase there were more members wondering.  :)

Sound modding is no big issue, it just takes a little practice.

Lady M: I'm still not clear on which font y'all are talking about.

In the Obsidian Order section of the forum there is a Gundam Wing sound font in the member created sound fonts topic under Obsidian Sound Fonts. The sound font in question is under Big Boss in the first post.

Yes D7, the 15% off sound coupon does apply to the preorder.

Pre-order, 15% off and a free premium
saber! Life is good!

this will definitely be my next purchase.

damn it looks good!

You had to remind me of the Grab Bag. With the 15% off pre-order I'm $75 short. I just bought an Archon, so I wasn't planning on pr-ordering, but it's calling my name. I need to make more money. :'(

I saw this and instantly thought SCYTHE... Cool seeing I wasn't the only one!

But, when are the pre-orders expected to ship? That would really decide whether I get one or not!

They will ship sometime around next Christmas. It would be awesome to be packin' for a midnight release, but no dice.

Hi Darth Logos.  Are you talking about the Flamberge or another saber and where did you get the info from.  My understanding is that it will be late winter or spring of this year which would be February - June 2015.  Why would anyone want to pay all that money for something that won't be received for at least half a year?  Please clarify.

1) I speced a Flamberge and added it to my cart and then applied the coupon code, and it took. Typically if a coupon cannot be applied the check-out will not accept it. Or if it doesn't apply, it would return a $0.00 discount. I.E.: I just ordered an Archon w/ sound and an extra MLS unit. The Archon had 15% taken off, but I paid full price for the MLS.

2) I might be mistaken on the release, but I was under the impression that there was a typo on the initial posting of this thread. If I'm wrong, all the better. We'll get 'em faster than I thought.

For a fanatical collector, overpaying and waiting isn't the judgement in pre-ordering. It's the guarentee that they won't have to wait for a potential backorder when they are released that is important. Haven't you ever wondered why some movies offer reserved copies before release, even there's hardly ever a shortage of units? I'm pre-ordering just for the added savings. If there were no difference in price, I'd be holding off.

Thanks for the quick reply.  Until I know for sure the correct time frame of the build and send time, I am going to hold off and look at other sabers that are on my wish list.  There will always be more sales but the free crossguard blades was a nice incentive to buy now.  Hope you get yours earlier than later and the forum will eagerly await the photos, videos and reviews of other member's Flamberge.

You actually got me thinking on that release date. Because by technicality, winter will be ending shortly, in 2015. What confused me about the dates is whether the "Winter" is named for the year in which it begins or the year in which it ends. The double '2015' is now making me think that we should have crossguards before June '15. Deep would be able to answer that best.

...... next Christmas... really guys  :-\

The pre-orders will be shipping by the end of February most likely.  Could squeeze out into March as well depending on a few production factors.  Of 2015...

I had to wait about 8 months from the time I discovered US till the time I could actually afford to buy my first saber. Good things are always worth waiting for. AND NOW I HAVE 5.

Deep, I assume disconnects are not possible for the crossguard blades?

Deep, you just went from cool to awesome.
I was thinking they wouldn't come out until may or June, which would have been a no-go! February/March is totally doable though! Sweet!

Anything is possible, it's just not a service that we can offer.  It's a very tight fit and we wouldn't want to install these and have customers messing up their saber trying to utilize them.  So yes they are possible, but due to the lack or room this wouldn't be something that we'd do here at Ultrasaber prior to shipping the saber. 

I love the look of the new saber, but I'm a bit concerned about the placement of the power button.  It seems like it would be right where you would put your fingers/thumbs, especially using it two handed, which most longswords with a grip that long have to use.  Would it be possible to post some photos/video of someone holding it two handed and one handed?  Thanks!  ;D

I sympathize with that mentality. I use to assemble electrical control panels and boxes; wires don't always like being stuff into cramped spaces. Thanks for the insight. I'm sure I'll be more than pleased with the CE version in good old Blazing Red

Hehe, luv how you put "of 2015..." at the end.... Just to be perfectly clear  ;)

In the video on page 1 at about 6 minutes Emory is holding the saber . Looks like you have just enough room for 1 hand above the button without pressing it.
Don

Did you mean to say something?

Am I right that the pre order deadline is the 25th? I have a question, I see people replying to a certain post and the post they're replying to appears in a gray box above they're post. How do you reply like that?

Click "Quote" next to the message you wish to reference.

On the far right side is a text link that says "Quote" and if you click it will quote that direct post.  If you just want the generic grey box, when you are typing up a new post in the row of icons at the top, click on the one that looks like a speech bubble and you can add a box that way too.  But it's much easier to just use the Quote link. :)

My post is above the quote I was commenting on. Not sure how that happened.
Don

Click on the "quote" button in the top right corner of the post you want to quote. 

I used to think that kind of thing would be an issue, but after having models like the Shock and Archon, you adapt rather quickly. My issue comes from compensating for a Cover-tec on the side of a standard 12" long saber. It's only a minor discomfort.

Thanks to all who answered my question.

Do you mean the pre order deadline is the 25th?

Excellent question. I've scoured for a cut-off for pre-orders and found nothing directly tied. However the 15% off expires on the 25th. I'm going to try applying the discount to my pre-order.

I guess the 15% off is what D7 meant by we have until the 25th to decide. My problem is I don't have the money to get a Flamberge right now but probably will between the pre order and official release, which means I will have to wait awhile to get one if the pre order ends soon :(. 

He does hold it, but not like you would if you were going to swing it around, and definitely not like you would if were going to swing it two handed.  I can estimate the distance, and mock up a fake hilt, based off of the length stated, but it would definitely be better to see it live, and you know what they say, a picture is worth a thousand guesses. :D

I bit the bullet and ordered one. Black with silver accents and a scorpion pommel to go with it for a meaner look. ;D

What colour(s) are you getting? What kind and length of blades?

Blazing red all around, 40 inch main blade, 6 inch crossguard blades. And Obsidian sound of course.
I may get one of Makoto's new string blade kits and swap out the electronics in the future. His blades are crazy bright and strong enough to duel with.
Google Makoto's lightsabers to take a look.

Ordered mine too! Can't wait to get it. :)

All black with Blazing Red. I have my own soundboard I will install after market.

Order's going in today. CE w/ BR all around. 40" main and 6" guards w/ sound. Initiate LE V2 in BR to bump me up to free Grab Bag. On top of the Archon I got last week. <hand to mouth> OOOOOOOOOOHHH I'm bad. I'm anxious to see what MHS abilities it has.

Just another reason why I fought for
this country! Freakin' sweet!

ô¿o huh?!?

for a scythe type saber, i have a very simple but oh so practical design.. it will however incorporate some (wood most likely) long handle that is separate of the 2 ends, witch will be small hilt at the bottom, with possible saber blade.. and the top will have a special emitter made that would use the side and top .... long blade on side, very short blade on top... and small to medium size on the bottom.. if even on the bottom...

the idea would be Cortoses for the middle shaft... and the rest is just learning how to use it as a defensive weapon... the attacks are all counter style attacks in my opinion.. block the incoming, redirect it and strike in one move... but thats just me... ill have some pics of that idea late in time, im currently working on a collaboration for a modular unit that will make all ultrasabers... even more combat specialized

Good choices. If I ever get one(which I probably will) mine will probably be the same except for the pommel. The only sabers I currently own are two standard issues in CG and GB. here's a dark point for your quick reply

Anyone gonna get two and make a crossgaurd staff. OK maybe that's a silly idea.

Does ANYONE else think it would be amazing to have a Flamberge pike? Because that's the FIRST thing I'm gonna do  ;D

Are you going to get a Flamberge and add a few yari pike extensions?

Questions.  If I select the Blade Plug option, is there a plug included for each of the 3 emitters or just one for the main blade?  Will I need to order up two more?

Also, the crossguard blades in the photos and the video -- are those 6" or 8" blades?

Page 3, Deep has a post saying they are 6" in pics and vid. Concerning the Blade Plugs I don't know.

Thanks, I missed that one.  I think 6" will do nicely with the pointed tips all around.  Since the 15% discount ends today I went ahead and pushed my order through.  I'll figure out the blade plugs later.  Here's what I got.  I am using the saber at C7 as part of my Sith costume:

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what exactly is C7? With the options you chose it looks to be an awesome saber. Nice call on taking advantage of the deal and getting sound. I'm guessing that with your picture you want Dark Side points?

Star Wars Celebration.
C7 is in Anaheim CA this year.
http://www.starwarscelebration.com/ (http://www.starwarscelebration.com/)

So It's basically a yearly Star Wars Celebration?

Why yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do, once i get the money for it  :D

money money money...

One more thing, are you going to get a short blade for the top so it's more pikeish.

Have you seen the lightsaber memes with the excessive varients? Most of them end up looking like TV aerials.

Memes?

Meme
noun
1.
a. a cultural item that is transmitted by repetition and replication in a manner analogous to the biological transmission of genes.
b. a cultural item in the form of an image, video, phrase, etc., that is spread via the Internet and often altered in a creative or humorous way.

One image has a cross guard saber that looks like a Swiss army knife, one looks like a chain saw blade.

Ordered mine with 8" cross guard blades
and two overlord emitters   Wasn't sure
if 6" would look right with those emitters

it would look more like a Glaive than a pike if i didnt  :P

Ahhh...

What Finish, colour(s) and main blade length? Sorry if I'm prying to much.

Are you going to get a 24"?

i already have a couple of those with my staff, i was more thinking a 16" with about three Yari extensions with the blades all red. if i don't like it, the FLamberge comes with a blade of its own. and i can swap them around whenever.  ;)

What finish are you going to get?

Probably just a silver finish because their black Yari's are out-of stock.  :-\ ... unless they restock before i get the money.

Don't compromise. Get what you feel would look best, and just have patience to finish the build with the desired components.

Good point, but it's pretty hard to wait when you have the money to get a new US ;).

I have only ONE problem. Why charge extra to get the crossguard LED's and blades(at the official release) if the point is a crossguard saber?

The alternative would be to include the required amount in the base price and force those that have their own extra blades or plan to DIY a crossguard lighting system to buy these add ons.  Either way, they have to be paid for.  Extra blades and LEDs are not free  ;)

Don't I know it. That's why my collection has grown by 4 sabers in just this month. The Archon came last week, then I pre-ordered, got an Initiate to spend $400 so I could also get a free Grab Bag. I'm so weak. :'(

True. Well you are giving us the crossguard LED's for $10 or $15(for the two colour LED's and $17 for colour discs) which is AWESOME compared to the normal $35 for extra LED's :).

Yes Darth Logos... you are very weak... and should not burden yourself with even more sabers.  Guaranteed no more tears if you re-route them my way.  Aren't you feeling calmer and stronger already knowing that you are generously broke but totally awesome in my opinion.  ;D  :P

At least one of them was free!

NICE TRY. You forgot to wave your hand. Speaking of I'm waiting to hear if my application of the Mind-trick through the forum will work on Emory to give me free sabers.

love the saber!!!! absolutely love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   and im getting it.  have any pre-orders shipped yet?  if not does anyone have an idea when preorders will ship?

Wow.  That's going to look nice!  Emory said to expect the Flamberge to start shipping out in February/March barring no unforeseen difficulties.

probably the SE to match the extensions

The Flamberge doesn't have an SE version.

Of course it has an SE version, it's just called High Polish version :)

My bad. :-[

At least you're trying. For future reference SE stands for "Standard Edition". It typically signifies no anodize or any other finish.

LE - "Limited Edition" although they always have them. This typically is applied to V-series sabers that are two-toned (black-silver, silver-gold)
CE - "Custum Edition" (my fav) this typically IDs sabers that are nickel plated. Only one exception encountered with the Mantis CE (maybe typo)

Okay, I thought SE meant high polish. I think the LE version is usually a black or silver or any other colour hilt with stripes(or accents) added on? What's so special about nickel plating that makes it more expensive?

The SE does typically mean high polish. Most times it's implied. Technically, they should have the Manticore SE & CE to better distinguish between high polish and the nickel plated versions. But I think they are endeavoring to keep the catalog as concise as possible.

It's the processing of the nickel. It's expensive because you're adding another layer of metal over the aluminum of the hilt. It probably also takes some re-engineering on the part of US so that the plated dimensions work out to be equal to the high polish or anodized parts.

Meaning they have to add another layer of metal but keep the hilt the same width?

If i'm looking at it the right way, they have to machine the hilt differently, so that when they add the nickel plating, it ends up with the same dimensions as a polished version. I'm not sure how thick the plating is, when it comes to mating parts thousandths (.00X") of an inch can cause problems.

I just got done having to sand down a speaker because it was about .010" too wide, and was getting stuck inside my Archon to where I couldn't get it out without somewhat drastic force.

OK I see now. Theoretically if the nickel plating is thicker the hilt would be stronger.

well, the high polish version, just really really shiny silver  ;D

So when does the pre-order deal end?

A few people including me have been wondering and asking the same thing.

Somewhere around the middle to end of February is the current estimate for release/end of pre-order.

Its official. I got cleared by the wife to order one as soon as taxes arrive. Expected tomorrow.

what sort of specs are you thinking on it?

LE
Blazing red on all blades.
40" HG main blade
8" HG side bladed
Obsidian sound
Red illuminated AV switch

Thinking a little of going blue instead of red but it doesn't seem to fit the design.

It definitely screams red, orange, or yellow to me. I can't picture it blue.
I'm excited to see when all these start rolling out.

I wanted Emerald, but then found out it can't run all 3 LEDs. So going with red

I wonder if these are winnable in the raffle   :o

Ooh, there's a thought. I wouldn't be surprised if there was one among the prizes, because they do seem to love giving us sneak peeks.

Otherwise, imagine if you were the Grand/Emerald winner and you got told you were allowed to pick a pair of these... :o

That would be amazing, would be a hell of a prize. Question: Do emerald/Grand winners get to add covertecs, blade plugs etc at no extra charge? Always wondered that.

Anything extra will cost extra, but it's a pretty minimal cost compared to two 'sabres (free shipping, too!)

Thanks for letting me know. Its a pretty sweet deal  :)

No. They would take a little bit more aluminum off during machining, that will then be replaced by the nickel during the plating process.

Say you're making a high polish saber, the finished OD is 1.5". Now if you were making a CE, you'd machine down to say 1.497" OD in order to add the .0015" thick nickel plating. This would result in the CE also being 1.5"OD.

OD?

outside diameter, IOW total thickness

Thank you, squire.  ;D


Sorry, engineering habits.

IOW? Sorry I don't know many acronyms.

I think it means "in other words" :D

That would make sense.

I'm holding off on getting this saber until I see it in action in the movie.

I actually think that the saber in the movie isn't a cross guard at all and is actually exhaust ports on the saber. My theory is that is an ancient saber and its so inefficient that it needs exhaust ports to run which is why it looks all flamy and electric.

It's all purely spectulation right now. It could be ports, it could be small blades. We won't know until we see more footage.

Curious idea but if they are exhaust ports why the second ignition sound when they activated. We'll just have to wait for the movie. Hopefully they get more use than just being a random extra on there.

See I don't think that's a second ignition sound. They sound more like a blowtorch than anything imo, which leads me to the exhaust idea. We'l have to wait and see, either way, its awesome  ;D

Hey everyone,  I have a couple questions regarding the flamberge.
Can it be used as an entry for the raffle?
And also if I were to get one I would get a 2 channel emerald driver. I'd want to be able to have a red blade with a pulse/foc silver. So I'm not sure which 2 ch. driver to get. And I'm also confused with the driver connecting to the cross guard blades.
Sorry for such a loaded post, I'm just a total noob with all this. ;)

In order for you to have flash on clash with a 2 channel driver, both emerald channels will have to be used by your main LED.
  This means your side blades would either have to be always on (in a single colour), or in series with one of the colours on your main blade, but either way you would not be able to have the full emerald colour change on the side blades.

 With a 4 channel however, you can assign three channels to your main blade for unlimited colour mixing, the fourth to your side blades (so at least it can dim and brighten, although nothing else), and your switch either in series with one of those or direct drive.

 For your 2-channel with silver FoC, i'd recommend;
2-channel R+S (red and silver)
 side blade channel = the same as the red die on your LED
I presume that would the channel 1, but i'd make sure by asking for it in your order comments.
 I would not recommend direct drive on your side blades, this would mean they were always ignited, not what you're after.

 Sorry for the long reply, but i hope it helps!

Thanks for the reply but I'm still having trouble trying to understand. I might get another single bladed saber with emerald because I'd hate to screw something up. Now I feel bad for having you type all that :-\

Hmm, having looked at the options with a 2-channel emerald, i'm not certain myself.. Your best bet would probably be to say exactly what you want to ultrasabers direct, and the chances are Emory has a far better idea how it'll work with the extra blades, only US has been lucky enough to get to play with the flamberge after all


 I think you'd be able to get the side blades to ignite and extinguish at the same time as the main blade, but i'd also say you'd definitely need to message ultrasabers one way or another to make certain you can get what you want. Emory tends to reply within a few hours, so i'd waitto hear back from him, if the flamberge is what you really want then it's worth the extra few hours to be sure!

 

Dangit. I caved and order one. Oh well, now I have 2 awesome sabers coming my way ;D

 Oh, where did you opt for the covertec wheel? I didn't get one, but i was tempted to put it right up on the cross, keep that lovely smooth hilt pristine :P

I told them to put it near the emitter opposite the activation button. I feel like it would hang better from my belt that way as opposed to putting it near the pommel. Now to see if I can work up the nerve to bring it when I see The Force Awakens ::)

 I already ahve a covertec clip and some spare wheels, so i decided i'd use it once or twice to get the feel of the grip positions, and go from there. Most likely i'll do the same as you, with a saber hilt i like to have it on my right hand side, and i'm right hand dominant. I just lower my hand in the thumbs-up position and hey, saber's drawn. Plus i'm in the uk so finding set screws in US imperial sizes is a pain in the proverbial, this way i can buy a whole bag of the things and be certain i can replace it if it comes loose!

You must take it with you to the premier! People at your theatre will love it and you will feel awesome. Everyome there is there to see Star Wars so jazz it up and have some fun. Be "that guy with the new lightsaber" people will talk about you for days.

Awesome, I see you got the LE finish as well. It's gonna look mighty sinister ;)
Well in that case, I have to put together some sith type costume if I'm gonna go through with it. :)

Mhm, the dark side in me pushes me towards the LE finish every time..

 I agree with the costume, there's going to be a run on people buying robes in november december, it's people like us who'll be prepared ;) Also considering getting a stormtrooper breastplate and repainting it, then weathering it, it's my opinion that armour looks awesome some dark robes and a angry looking saber

I've been tinkering with the idea of a Mandalorian jacket (shoulders & torso) to be part of my Sith ensemble. But despite the cool factor, I want the outfit to have an authentic SWTOR sense about it.

Awesome if I had the money I would buy it with a coupler to make a double bladed light saber
Just imagine

 Same here, i plan on painting this breastplate a dark satin grey and then pulling it down the corner of a wall to make some deep but believable scratch lines in it.. after which i intend on putting little bits of self-adhesive aluminium foil into the grooves, which hopefully will work out well. one of the main things for a SWTOR look seems to be the belt, it's a big difference from the films, more like batman's utility belt with some of the armour in game

 I plan on using repurposed and redecorated dirtbike armour under the chestplate, even if it's not amazing looking without some work it'll make sparring a little more comfortable!

If you're looking for sparring gear, I reccommend a Kendo armor set. I can't remember what they call it, but that stuff can take an ass whoopin'.

I've also thought of using dirt bike armor for costuming purposes, considering it's futuristic look. I love my old school bracers, but I would love have a set of Malgus' grieves. There's a seller on Etsy that offers Deadpool boots that you can get in different colors. I think I'll get some silver ones. I've also seen SW leather utility belts on there as well.

Mhm, i've considered the kendo mask myself, but it's expensive as anything in this part of the country if you want anything reasonably new. You can be looking 35 for a decent three-weapon fencing mask, and i've seen kendo masks go for nearer 240, so i figured a fencing mask for sparring and an airsoft mask for costuming purposes.

 To get a little back to topic, i can see the crossguard helping in the bind, but i can also see it making a considerable difference against those opponents who prefer disarming strikes, it's surprising how often the cross on a longsword catches those awkward little strikes that go lower than you expect

I got an air soft mask as well. It looks sick, but it's based on an existing non-SW design.

As far as the "bogu" set, I believe it's called, is the mask (includes the shoulders), chest plate, and gloves. They are pricy, but considering you can beat the hell out of them?

This is true, but i've found a fencing mask to be plenty strong enough for longsword or sword and buckler, i've yet to find anyone who hits harder with a lightsaber  ::)

 The gloves would definitely be worth having, although again i'll probably use the same ones for sparring as i do for longsword, slightly modified lacrosse gloves.

I have to say I'm SUPER Excited to get a Flamberge! I pre-ordered a little while ago and I just wanted to ask will you guys be sending out an email update; to those who have pre-ordered the Flamberge, to let us know when we can expect our sabers? Can't Wait!!! ;D

Anxiously awaiting my sabers, two
more days, woo hoo!

Quit playin'. Seriously, the wait is over?

i would think they would have emailed everyone who preordered, and i havent gotten an email yet so...

yeah, pretty sure we are still waiting

I second Master Kobars message, no email for me yet but there is still that constant trickle of excitement running down my leg accompanied with giggles.

Q said two more days, yesterday. So that told me that they are preparing to ship, not HAVE shipped. If we all get emails by the end of the week, I'll have classified it as "the wait was over."

agreed

perhaps (at time of post) he has two days until he gets paid and can afford saber?  or posted on wrong thread.  other possibilities.

Oh no. Not Q. He's already got a Menace Staff, and bought me a saber, well after the pre-order opened up. At the longest, he'd have waited maybe 2 days from the announcement to place his pre-order.

in that case i eagerly await with bated breath

Join the club. There's a little boy, who thoroughly enjoys seeing my new acquisitions, that will flip out when he sees this.

as long as he is buying sabers for people i would love a pair of dark mantis with Consular Green Blades

I meant my grand prize, sorry
to get everyone excited. Ya'll will know
when my Flamberge is here  :o

You know for some reason I like the name Flamberge for the crossguard saber. I'll probably get one in the future just for fun

US has done something great with this one. I'll rag on and on about why I hate this saber varient because of its impracticality and faulty design aspects. But looking at what US has created, it is truly a thing of beauty, and will sit in a place of distinction among my collection.  :D

Any word on whether these are done and shipped yet?  Sith can be very impatient.

I upgraded my pre-order with a recharge port and got this as part of the email reply yesterday; "We’ve updated your order as requested and should have these hilts available within the next couple weeks to ship out to you; not a problem "

 So i'd guess two weeks or less, barring anything going wrong with the production.

Tru dat, playa.


That would be in line with the estimated release of Late winter - Early spring 2015. Sounds like everything is on schedule. I hate waiting for schedules.

I'm using the Dark Side to put my
saber brain in a force coma until my
pre-order arrives.

Speak for yourself. I'm calling on my lesser known Light side powers to stave off the temptation to take advantage of that DoD Manticore.

Do it! "One of us, one of us" ( mindless
monotone chatter). Hey, I like that
scripting on your sabers! How did you
do that? Not to be a copy cat,  but I
would like to do that to a couple of
mine. Really cool! Point to you for those
pics.  BTW, also like your new Avatar.

Unfortunately, I can't. I want to but...I have other financial obligation that I need to attend to that I have been putting off. I've already got at least $1k that I need to strategically spend on sabers in the next 8 months for a project. I'm trying to put on a brief sermon at youth-con involving light sabers. if pulled off it'll be totally awesome.

Yes, I finally worked out photobucket. Now the world can see Darth Logos. Although I will eventually tweek the costume eventually, this was a Halloween '14 pic.

The only stip to laser engraving is that it has to be anodized. I'm still trying to figure out how I could get "Devastation" engraved into the Scorp claw. I was thinking about getting it anodized black, then I could get it lasered on.

if you can cap off one of the hilts you could have a sweet light tonfa as well

Love it. It looks sooo cool. Time to save my pennies!!

Get creative. Then take pics. LOTS OF PICS

Question:  Any chance of a few pics of a black anodized version (with silver accents sounds good) of this piece? I suspect the trailer weapon is black (? guessing here...) and I`d be curious to see this that way. Mind you, its so briefly seen, you never know.

Deep posted this on the flamberge thread, and Julmax has the prototype, which is silver (not the high polish though) from the announcement video

Wow.

Thanks Ren Kobar (!). That looks really great. My ideal would be to gun for as close as possible to the screen model. I *suspect* it is black with some measure of silver/chrome trim, and that unpolished version looks awfully comfortable in that realm.

Will endeavour to save some schekels, I think...

Thanks again for that shot. Btw, I think Ultrasabers should include such a shot in their announcement for the Flamberge...

Man... The waiting is killing me! I pre-ordered the "Flamberge" along with the grab-bag. I can't wait to start adding some special mods to this saber! It's only March and Star Wars TFA consumes my thoughts... 😆😉

So does anyone know when the release date is going to be. I'm going to be moving soon and want it sent to the right address.

most recently emory said end of march/ beginning of april 2015, so 2-3 weeks out still.  some are ready and waiting to ship, others are not.  US got a TON of preorders, everybody wants a Flamberge.  i say move, and if you havent goten it yet email Emory, ask him to update your shipping info.  otherwise if it has shipped and you moved, contact FedEx, and you can pick it up at their main location instead of home delivery

I think we all need to take a chill, breathe, and calm the $&^% down. The important thing is that we will have them before the release of the movie so we can all dork out by going to the show strapped. 8)

well most of us, some of us want it cuz its awesome and are getting it in other than sith colors.  mine is GB, so its pure awesome lightside crossguardiness

I would have ordered in SY, but I couldn't get Emerald for all 3 blades. So I ran canon colors.

This will look awesome..... points to you..... It would have been my LED choice too, LE version all 3 LED's in GB......  :)

Oh wait..... there's a couple hours left on this 10% off deal...... oohh I'm sooo close to pressing the GO button on an LE stunt Flamberge, sooo close..... it still says Pre-Order..... oohh, do i do it?

 Preorder is cheaper than normal order.. and it's not long before the preorder will end, at least by most people's reckoning.
If you're going to, now's the time :P

Definitely a cool saber, taking some getting used too, but I'm hip on JJ Abrams making cool new tech for the next film.

Now was the time, haha...... So I just pressed GO, just snuck in, 11:38pm Texax time for 10% off a stunt LE in GB........ I'll now be part of the Flamberge club, late to the party, but now I'm in......  :)

 Details, we want details! Congratulations though, whether you'd rather duel or spin with it, it'll definitely give you a new direction in your studies of the force  :D

sweet.  another GB flamberge.  loving it. mine is a high polish hilt though.  i plan to make a greatsword blade to make it bigger, as well as get enough yaris to make a spear.

I've never costumed a movie, but this
one calls for a Sith appearing with the Flamberge
and another hilt on the belt to be named later

She's curvy, dark, with some silver highlights...... She's beautiful..... Glows a lovely blue when the right buttons are pushed...... She's irresistible..... You can't help but want to touch her, hold her, and play with her in every way you could imagine...... ooooohhhhh...... She's not too complicated, a standard setup type of beauty, and not too tall, her stats are 36",6",6" all UEMG...... and I can't wait till she's MINE  ;D ;D ;D

She sounds.. practically luminescent..

 We have to see her!

Points for a dirty mind. For a sec I thought you were actually talking about a woman.

I just got a message stating my crossguard saber has shipped  I went with all red lighting. Also they promised me a obsidian 4 sound card. I also ordered the 40 inch ultra edge heavy grade blades and the 8 inch heavy grade blades. I didn't get the emerald driver though. I believe I will like the the black and red color combination. Maybe I have it Monday

I can't wait to see her too....... but no shipping confirmation yet........ I'll be patient, I ordered very late, and will be at the end of the line  :)


Beautiful woman / beautiful saber.............. I appreciate beauty  ;)


Woo hoo........ feels like christmas  :D

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. But it helps to have at least a general appreciation for beauty.

I got my Flamberge yesterday. It has exceeded expectations.  The crossguard LED design is killer.  I love how the blade sinks into the hilt so much.  Glad I ordered a 40" main blade.  I am using 6" side blades, Blazing Red all around, Obsidian sound, full black finish.  All three blades are extremely bright, and evenly lit. The hilt itself is massive and well thought out.  I am fortunate enough to have big hands so it suits me just right. The removable blade holders secured onto each blade with three setscrews is a great way to quickly detach the blades without having to carry around an allen wrench.   I was planning to take it to C7 as part of my Sith costume. The question is...is this saber too cool for C7?  ;D

Toddshogun.  Nice photos.   You will be the envy of many at C7.   I would like to know more about your customization on the far right.  Perhaps as it's own post in the customization section if not already done.  Point.  :)

The one on the right is a US Oppressor, flipped, green dot AV switch and yellow LED in control box, recharge port, Hyperdyne systems string blade and V1 soundboard, set system power set at 11V.  The Hyperblade color is purple.  It's a killer saber and super loud.  Though the sound quality isn't super good because of the small speaker and obscene volume level.  The blade is very bright however and has up/down scrolling effects smoother and more aggressive than a Force FX.

toddshogun....... what an awesome idea to flip the main body of the hilt, wow, now you got me thinking, lol....... Points to you man  :)

Awesome pics! Awesome saber!

Im SO SO Beyond Happy with my Saber!!! It just arrived today here's a quick pic cause it's late! Thank You, Thank You ULTRASABERS!(http://i1383.photobucket.com/albums/ah293/Joe_TheCondor/My_saber02_zpsbxg2r76c.jpg) (http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/Joe_TheCondor/media/My_saber02_zpsbxg2r76c.jpg.html)

^  Love the yellow switch on there, and that is a very cool shot with you're glove hand!

Thanks hazard502 :)

I never ordered the yellow AV, but after seeing
that pic, I like it!

Has anyone ordered a Flamberge with 3 different colors in the blades?

Yeah I need this saber in my life like right now :P I'm liking the V2 model. Looks awesome. I'm going V2 all Blazing Red blades of course, Ultra Edge Heavy Grade for all, probably a stunt but this would almost have to have sound but I just can't afford it at the moment so. But I'll be happy to have this without sound either way =] I like the fact that you can make this saber your own and not direct from the movie if you don't want it like that

not 3, but 2 does that count?
High polish silver, main BR
Crossguards PO
PO FOC

^^^I was actually picturing this earlier talking to a friend about the official release or maybe the main blade being Violet Amethyst then the cross guard being Dark Violet Amethyst. That would look slick too

The v2 is an amazing hilt, Zren.  I love mine!

(http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y3/PROWL1701/photo188.jpg~original)

^^^You suck. Lol. Can't wait to get one. This is now on my want/need list :P

Nice take on the cross guard. Looks great.
It's great to see that it makes sense to have guards - we have been using them in some cultures for centuries...
When we were forming the one in SW7 - I had no idea that the cross guard would be such a controversy...

Regards, Jet

If you haven't posted a picture, you don't have it; it doesn't exist; and no it doesn't count.  :)

Is Jet someone famous on the forums now? o_o

I have been in love with that v2 saber from the first moment I saw it. It will have to be my next purchase. However I intend to get it with sound and hope that the new v4 soundboard is coming out soon. I can't wait.

The V2 is absolutely gorgeous! I spec'd it with
all BR HG 40" 8" sound BR AV switch. Silver Warglaive
with black claws on main and black Menace
emitters silver underlay/windows on crossguards.
It is 3/4" longer than my other Flamberges.
It is very beastly!

I concur. Had I known that the V2 would be right around the corner I'd have forsaken the Flam CE. Oh well I'll just have to get the V2 in BH ;D


He has emailed them to me. It does exist. All shiny with its Overlord emitter on the main and Manti's on the guards.

Will this work with a Yari Extension?

Many have done it with ease. Can't think of any resources to point you to at the moment though.

Ren Kobar has done some awesome things with his, and check out Waxman's also..... here's a link for you.....  cheers  :)
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=23538.msg354948#msg354948

Dear Jeebus that thing is enormous... You could probably take all the blades off, wield it like a war hammer and call it Mjolnir.

Very handsome hilt with commanding pressence though. Another winner for US!

It is quite massive.

I think it would look cool to stick blade plugs in the sides and just have the red reflective glow coming out.

The Renegade is okay because if you're a Saiyan then you're renegade for life. Lol. But the Flamberge saber will always rule. Would love to see these two in a regular duel deciding that :P Would be epic for sure

Yes please lol  ;D

I'm debating between the Flamberge and the Renegade for a Kylo Ren cosplay, the Flamberge emitters seem closer to the actual saber but I love the Renegade design so I'm torn.
One question I had though is what size do you guys recommend for the main blade? I plan to have 6" on the crossguard and the only other saber I have (MR Vader) has a 34" blade which seems plenty long enough to me.
So I was thinking about going with the 36" but I wonder since the hilt seems pretty huge if the 40" would be better.... but then maybe the saber is just too bulky?

Let your height and the length of your legs be your guide.  With the Flamberge clipped to your belt, how long would the blade have to be to start dragging on the floor?

I would go Renegade for cosplay. The set-screws are more easily accessible, and with a strategically placed "blade pocket" in your cloak, you'd be able to clip the "deactivated" (aka bladeless) hilt to your belt, but still have the blades on hand for photo-ops. ;D

I see that the side led emiters are an option. Does anyone have pictures of it with only the main led, and the side blades? I am curious to see if the led reflects enough foe the blades to light up.

That's a good point though I was planning to have the clip above the activation button. I mean if you clip it blade down with the blade inserted it's going to drag no matter what. Don't most people take the blades off before clipping the saber?



I never thought about that but man I need pockets in my robe! How are the screws more accessible?

I'm 5'6".  With the covertec wheel back by the pommel, I can use either 24" or 30" inch blades without the blade tip dragging the floor.  However, the 36" blade is too long and does drag on the floor.

There are 3 screws on each of the "emitters" on the Flam. Each is easily accessed on the guard emitters, but the main lies below the edge of the guard, so at best only 2 screws are exposed at one time. for storage, I just unscrew the main emitter with the blade still inside.

The 'Gade emitters have significantly more length, and you can see where the screws hit in the website pics. I sewed an 8x3 pocket down by the hem of my robe, and then used a blade to align a 2x3 strip about waist high to hold the blade steady inside my robe. Then just carry a wrench with you. You'll be able to clip-it and free up your hands.

Cool I'll have to try that.

Because why not put these pics in another thread?

^ Agreed! It's always nice seeing fresh pics for recent saber releases, another point to you shade :)

I tried dropping a line to the info email, but I'm guessing the shop is slammed.  So I'll post my question to the GP.

Can you get the quick disconnect installed on the flamberge?  I didn't see an option on it's order page.  Thanks all.

If there's no option for QD's, then they're most likely not available for the Flamberge.

That is correct. If the option is not available in the customization pulldowns, then it not available for that saber.

Thanks guys, just wanted to see if that was so or if there was a comment that I had to add.

Although I don't have a cross-guard saber yet, I thought those of you who do might appreciate the sheer awesomeness of this vid:


BTW, He also mentioned in a reply: "It flickers because I bought the Emerald LED driver with my Ultra Saber Flamberge. It allows you to pulse the light. It is not my camera, its the led light pulsing."

I apologize if this has already been posted here, but I got a little excited...

Although I like the appearance of the Flamberge/Renegade I'm inclined to think that I'd go for this if I bought one. I quite like swords with shortish crossguards, and feel like that'd really look cool.

Does anyone have a photo of a Flamberge with plugs in to show how deep they sit/show far they stick out? The other option would be to use something like the Manticore emitters on the sides...

I have a horrible feeling that my brain is going to decide I need a Flamberge... ::)

Any particular reason why one wouldn't just cut some "grab bag" blades as short as desired w/a pipe cutter?

Maybe I'm naive, but what's the point of getting a "cross"-guard saber for the purpose of eliminating the "cross" blades to use blade plugs instead?  ???

Kinda like buying a short-sleeve shirt to cut the sleeves off instead of buying a sleeveless shirt, yes?  ;D

There's a specific look I'd be going for that'd suit the hilt in general, but not the wide crossguard blades.

You're right that I could cut down blades, but I already have many, many blade plugs. If they fit the crossguard holes, great. If not, I'd need to consider other options - including cutting down blades.

This is what I'd do as well; use the width of the emitter itself as the guard and treat the Flamberge as a broad sword lightsaber. The cross guard blades would get old for me quickly, but I like the hilt non the less.

Give into your temptation, it is your destiny.

The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. 

I like mine but it's too big for me to use effectively.

Mine currently has plugs in.  I had to cut them to right about 3/4" to get them to sit flush with the emitter ring.

Pics tomorrow.

I wonder which one will suit the need to recreate the green bladed crossguard saber seen in the new Rebels Season 2.5 trailer.

Has anyone tried using the side emitters as emitters for other MHS hilts?

Cool, thank you :)

Yep that looks awesome shade_1313!  Point!  That's exactly the look and style I'd be going for myself and the new style blade plugs look right at home in the cross guard.

James here is a link to Kaza Yuri's Flamberge V2 customized lightsaber and he does a great job of showcasing nearly all usable parts of the Flamberge.

Thanks, hazard :)

Sorry if this has been answered already, new to the forum and there is so much to read haha. Is there plans to offer a Flamberge Saber that looks more like the famous one...? Any help would be appreciate, thanks!

Not the whole thing, but just the "ring" at the end. I was helping Nightsister find out if a Scorp could be modded to fit within the 12" max length to get into Ludosport. I was successful, but I think the shroud kept it too heavy to meet regs. But it sure looked sweet.

^ Awesome shade! How much did you have to cut off of the blade plugs for them to fit flush in the side guards?

I cut the side blade plugs down to 3/4", total length.  Works perfectly.  Standard length plug in the main emitter, and those three emitter/blade holder "rings" came from my empty Flamberge V2, ordered for its parts and to build a DIY saber from.

With that setup (having a spare set of emitter "rings"), I can just unscrew the ring and blade as one, making the changeover to "unignited hilt" for costume belt carry very fast, far faster than undoing all of the blade screws.

Having an extra set of blade holders for the Flamberge would be so handy! And thank you for the info on the blade plugs, point awarded :)


EDIT: shade_1313 I just saw that you indicated the blade plug length one page back, thanks for humouring me I guess I should read a bit more ::)

Some of you may have noticed the set screws for the main emitter loosen now and then. As an alternative to the stock set up, or using other whole emitters ... consider picking up a short extension(in silver or black) for ease of access to re-tighten the blade. This one, 3/4" long, is from the "other guys" and probably my most valued accessory.

what blade plugs did you order? The 1" seem too long for those side blades.. I have the same one.

Whoops. Sorry, I see that now. Cool cool. Thanks.
