Title: Saber weight Post by: ramsesxv on August 31, 2011, 12:39:18 AM How much do these blades weight? My wife is wanting a blade but is wondering about the weight. I have a Master FX, which is heavy in comparision to the Parksaber, and a Parksaber. I am hoping these blades are lighter than the Master FX. Thanks for the help in advance.
Title: Re: Saber weight Post by: ThreadJack on August 31, 2011, 12:45:57 AM The exact weight really depends on what saber you get, and what blade you have, as well as if it has sound(more electronics adds an ounce or two.;) ) I've only owned three sabers, so I don't have experience with all of them, but most stunt(no sound) sabers with mid grade/Ultra Edge blades are fairly light in my experience.

Title: Re: Saber weight Post by: ThreadJack on August 31, 2011, 01:14:53 AM If you're looking for a small saber, then the Initiate is definitely the way to go. A Prophecy with a 32" (or even 30")blade would be good too.
Title: Re: Saber weight Post by: Master Nero Attoru on August 31, 2011, 02:28:19 AM There are two components to the weight: the hilt and the blade. For the hilt, you're right - the Initiate is a good small hilt which should be pretty lightweight. For the blade, the midgrade blade (or Ultraedge) is a good lightweight blade which retains LOTS of durability. For blade length, it depends... an Initiate blade might be a wee bit too short for her if she's looking for an actual lightSABER. It's personal choice though.
I would recommend an Initiate with a 32" blade - depending how small she is it could be a good one handed weapon or even a nice two handed one. That's just my two cents tho! |
