That first picture really showcases a lot of good things. I'm particularly fond of that mark on the emitter that continued down to about halfway through the length of the hilt. The crack near the pommel in the second is also a really elegant touch.
In the third picture, second saber, I'm intrigued by that double-set of gashes adjacent to the activation switch.
I'm also just really digging the color of a hilt once it's been weathered. It really gives it a lot of character.

Happy to see you mention the color of hilts after I weather them, I actually spend quite a lot of time layering colors to actually make these things look the way they do. More AWESOMENESS my friend +1 That Prophecy looks sensational with the leather wrap....... and great pic in VA...... What colour LED is the Manticore? (oohh is it Emerald ? ) Thanks! Yeah, that's a fun style of wrap to do, time consuming and hard on the fingers though. The Manticore is Emerald!

I'm still madly in love with your Graflex. But the leather wrapping on that second one is SO sweet! I also love the "lightening bolt scar" look of the first.

Thanks! I'm still madly in love with your Graflex. But the leather wrapping on that second one is SO sweet! I also love the "lightening bolt scar" look of the first. Aha, it's like a special edition hilt in my mind, so that Graflex will stay special. I love that style of wrapping, I actually ordered leather in several colors so that I could offer it if anyone ever wants it (I had to order it from Japan). The bolt scar was pretty experimental on my part, the Manticore emitter is so thick that I had more room to play with it. How nice another prophecy came your way, and that manticore too. Tight work my Sith counter-part The prophecy really is a nice hilt, every time I touch one I think to myself I need to order one.

Hi Rizzo and welcome to the forum. Got yourself some really special sabers thanks to Drahcir. Now before we can give you some forum appreciation points you need to go to the Forum Rules topic in large red print. Read and post a response. Are you collecting light or dark side points ? Will look forward to you starting your own review when the sabers arrive. Pics and video always appreciated. More excellent customizations Drahcir. Just gets better and uniquely creative for each saber. +1.

Looks sick . Love the damage window on the prophecy, and the way the cracks run up onto the av switch is so nicely done- point awarded.

Thanks, Dark Side points, of coarse.
The sabers are truly amazing. I have a total of 5 Ultrasabers and these 2 are my most custom ones. The Prophecy is my son's, he is 7, and we dual with it daily now. I bought him 2 Menace sabers with sound for his birthday and my daughter kind of took those over. The Manticore is mine and I just changed the color to Crimson after receiving it weathered. My first Scorpion may be done too now that I have seen these. My only negative/drawback is that the clear coat makes the sabers much more slippery when dueling, over the standard anodized aluminum.
I will post pics tonight!
