I'm sure this has been asked a few times before. but I am unable to find the threads. So I was just curious on why it's currently called the Archon v2.1 and not a v3. If anyone could clear this up for me it'd be quite appreciated!

All they did in the 2.1 was add a little length to the saber

They also added the pommel with the black accents vs all bare aluminum

The version three sabers had a PVC (version 1) component that led to an aluminum stunt only version (v2) and then they created the versions that allowed for sound (v3).  Archon was Ultra's baby as he did a special run trying to recreate Luke V2 style hilt.  He loves that hilt style and even did a video of it when he was doing custom run work back in the day.  He went straight from a PVC model to a sound model.  The extra length was added later to allow for the ability to install a recharge port and Covertec Knob.  All other reasons given are true and accurate.

The PVC was my very first Archon saber.  I waited until I could get a fully loaded Archon v2 and when the v2.1 came out, I ordered it twice and never looked back.  I love that saber very much.
