So Watching Empire Strikes Back 5 times ago, I decided I wanted a saber that resembled the old trilogy blue as well as saber hilt style, which is a little less flashy and more simple than the prequel trilogy mainstream. Well, the Initiate V3 fit my parameters and I really wanted to see the Arctic Blue for myself.
Hilt: 10/10
When it arrived a few weeks ago and I opened it, the saber looked like it was Pure Silver!!! the hilt was very sleek and so sooo polished!!!! Closer examination revealed some slight blemishes, but I just call it personality. But it didnt stop there, I needed some personal flare to the saber. so I bought A part to make it mine, personalize it. I think it turned out amazing! But I'll leave that to your discretion.
Color: 10/10
When I powered on the saber, love at first sight. the color and saber hilt couldn't compliment eachother any better! The color is certainly not lacking on brightness, I can say that much.
Handling: 9/10
It is an initiate, so it is a shorter hilt which suits some just fine! Very light and very balanced, I had no issue transitioning between one, and two hands when weilding. there is enough saber to do that with. It is "not so initiate" as it is described!\However, I still wanted a little more length and balance to offset the standard heavy grade I like to use. Prior to buying the saber, I had already pre-planned the add ons I wanted for it.
Overall, I am beyond satisfied. Wonderful in all aspects. So how about them pictures?
