Reviewing my Manticore CE in the nickel finish. When Ultrasabers first released the CE, immediately IT WAS ON! I went from not having much love for the standard version, though I respected it as a quality hilt, to it going straight to the top of my wish list. So when the US second summer raffle hit, I took the plunge and got one. Now that I have it, I love it!
The nickel plating is even and flawless from all angles, so nice! Though it's a little larger and heavier as I mentioned in the review, it handles well and works just fine as a fighter! This is my first saber with a nickel finish and my first blue saber as well.

You can also get this saber with the Emerald driver or with quick disconnects to change your blade color. And it is available with or without sound.
I am extremely happy with the Manticore CE and I would recommend this version to anyone interested in this particular saber.
Thanks everyone
