Hi everyone! Here is the saber I ordered to place my entry into raffle 2. It's the Archon 2.1 in EG/AS and man, am I ever happy with the way it handles. It's amazingly balanced, fits my hand nicely, and it's just darn schmexy looking. I love my Bellicose like an old friend but good gosh darn... I'm glad I got the Overlord first over this one as the 2.1 version is the perfect length in my opinion. It ordered a SY/AS MLS module with it, but I had an issue with it when I was changing it for my review video, but though I've since fixed it, I have yet to put it on video. Here are some photos to start, and the video follows right after. Thanks to Ultrasabers for a very impressive hilt. EG/AS  Soooo nice. That's the silver AV switch too.  I love the vented flush coupler. The black one looks better than the silver one with this setup, but both look amazing when they vent a little light below the emitter.  The video review

This is my fourth saber (not counting my fifth raffle prize saber... that review is coming up too), and they are each more than I imagined they would be (the raffle saber makes that total now 5).  Edit: I still prefer Consular Green to Emerald Green, but Emerald Green is amazing! |

Thanks for the review. Welcome to the Emerald Nights! Glad you like Emerald Green. I actually prefer emerald over consular. I actually Imagined Luke having an Emerald Green being that it is a synthetic crystal. I got the new pommel too, but I still prefer the Older vent pattern for looks and sound. Thanks for trying my Guardian choke idea. It works really well doesn't it? I really like my silver switch too. I find it works best with light side colors though. How do you like the grip of the saber? I fond that the covertec is best if you use the left hand on top. Overall its better as a one handed saber, but that's why I made mine 2 handed. Link to that 2 Handed model here: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=13811.0Yours is the same as mine except the color and my custom pommel. I actually like the flush coupler on here too, gives it more grip. |

Nice! Mine is almost the same. I have a yellow AV switch and a SRD blade. I also put on the black vented, flush, coupler but I have been switching the Archon pommel with my Bellicose pommel. I think it seems to match better but it does make it look a little less like Luke's ROTJ hilt. The Bellicose also looks decent with the Archon pommel. Have you tried changing the sound font on it? For some reason I can't change mine.  |

That looks fantastic. Definitely love the shoto idea.
I am very jealous, I've wanted an Archon since my first browse on Ultrasabers.
Damn I want one.

Great review Ee, as always!  I too, just received my Archon, and couldn't agree more with you. The vented flush coupler makes the Archon more awesome, and I love the Emerald Green too. Heck, I love both greens!  |

Glad to see that Archon!!! Looks really great in Emerald Green also. Definitely one of the best sabers offered by US. An awesome color to boot.
