On a side note, it gets noticeably green near the tip, even when the battery is at full charge. Should I opt for picking up a standard mid-grade blade rather than an ultra edge blade for color purposes? not really sure what to do about that. Also there seems to be a couple scratches on the inside of the slant on the pommel, and there were a few metal shavings still peeling off the aluminum on the inside. The upper half of the hilt is a slightly lighter shade of red than the rest, and a few of the grooves have some of the red dinged off along them. This sounds really bad i guess but the issues are minor and don't really stop me from enjoying the saber
It's never a bad idea to grab an extra blade, even if it's for color purposes; you never know when you'll need one, same with batteries.
Point for the pictures and getting SY.
