Title: My Graflex SE in Guardian Blue
Post by: Fanaticus on July 25, 2016, 04:25:29 PM
Hi,

Here are some pictures overload of my long waited Emerald/ObsidianV4 Graflex SE in Guardian Blue blade color.
I finally cought this simply must-have US hilt in-stock, but unfortunately I've ended up with the colors of the Front/Rear Buttons exchanged to what I was planning... I was targeting a Gold Button on the top of the hilt and a Silver Button in the bottom (to somehow simulate the "glass eye" in some versions of this hilt), but well... I ended up with the very opposite, not sure it they are easily exchanged... It stills looks very fine, and a different unique combination...

Another issue was that I've choose a Buttom Blade Set Screw for the hilt, and US didn't sent me the adequate Allen-Key wrench... and it was an unexpected bit of a pain to find the right one...

For your future reference:
  • Buttom Blade Set Screw: 3/32
  • Socket  Blade Set Screw: 9/64

This was the configuration of the hilt (NO recharge port, as it simply defaces this hilt, IMO):

The Graflex SE with Sound (Emerald)
[Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue for Emerald]
[Emerald Driver Configuration:4 Channel Emerald Driver - RGBW LED [Summer Awakening Deals]]
[Flash on Clash:Flash Silver for Emerald]
[Pulse Mode:Pulse to Arctic Blue]
[Battery Configuration:Li-Ion Setup for Emerald (Batteries & Charger Included)]
[Recharge Port:No Recharge Port]
[Blade Length:36" Standard Size]
[Blade Option:UltraEdge Midgrade]
[Sound:Obsidian USB V4 Sound! [V4]]
[Switch Type:White Illuminated Silver AV Switch]
[AV Switch Channel:Channel 4 (Dedicated to AV Switch) [Recommended]]
[Front Button Color:Gold]
[Rear Button Color:Chrome]
[Blade Set Screw Type:Button]
[Blade Tip:POINTED TIP]
[Include Retention Screw Wrench:Sure!]
[Include Blade Plug:Yes, Include Circle Plug]
[Include Saber Stand:No Thanks]
[Include MINI USB Cable:No Thanks]
[Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks]


The Graflex SE Hilt has a special blade plug in it, a true replica of a Graflex.

Enough talk, here comes the pictures:

Should I bother "correcting" the buttons?

I rather think it looks good the way it is, but that's totally up to you. :)

Wow, lots of pics.  Great stuff.  ;D  It's a thing of beauty, that's for sure.

I was under the impression that the buttons were relatively easy to change, but not having one, (yet) I can't say for certain.  However, I think it looks good as it is.  I get where you wanted to simulate that glass eye look, but by not doing that, you got an unintended unique touch to yours.

Nice pics.  Point to you.  I believe my next saber will be a Emerald/ObsidianV4 Graflex SE.  Very helpful.
