Silver Blade of the Distant Earth Knighthood


WWW
« on: April 17, 2016, 01:00:01 PM »

Since it's not standard, it may be helpful to make a list of how deep the blade goes into the different hilts.
We already know the standardized length of the different blade types but the same 32" blade for example will end up in a different "net length" most of the time when it's attached to different hilts.
It was a bit of contemplating for me both times before ordering to decide what blade length I sould order for the best results and had to ask other forum members who had the hilt already to measure the socket depth for me (which they did and I thank them here again Smiley)

So if you agree to help getting these information together and have some time next time you change the blade, please post your results with the specific hilt you measured the socket depth of.

The list so far (all approximations)

Aeon v2:-           2.5" (6.35 cm)
Aeon v3:-           3" (7.6 cm)
Apprentice:-       2.6" (6.6 cm)
Archon v2.1:-     4" (10 cm)
Archon v3.1:-     0.7" (1.7 cm)
Bellicose -           2.4" (6 cm) to bottom of the slant
Catalyst:-           1.75" (4.4 cm)
Consular:-          2.8 inches (7.2 cm)
Dominix V4:-      2.62 - 3.5" (6.6 - 8.9 cm) Possible variation by electronics configuration
Flamberge:-        4" (10.2 cm) on the main blade / .75-1 inch (1.9-2.5 cm)  crossguards
Flamberge v2:-   3.5" (8.9 cm) main blade / .75-1 inch (1.9-2.5 cm) crossguards
Initiate v3:-        2.5" (6.35 cm)
Initiate V4:-        2.0" (5 cm)
Liberator:-          2.6" (6.5 cm)
Manticore:-         3.0" (7.6 cm)
Menace -            3.375" ( 7.9 cm)
Overlord:-           2.625" (6.6 cm)
Propecy v3:-       3.14 inches (8 cm)
Scorpion -           3.3" (8.3 cm)
Sentinel:-           2.75" (6.9 cm)
Standard Issue:- 1.9" (4.8 cm) to the bottom of the slant

Thank you!

This thread is a very good idea, I didn't know how deep was my sentinel blade socket was untill I got it. A point for you Medwyn for starting this... I only have a Sentinel and Lord Rapine has already said how deep the socket is.

Agreed.

This thread could be quite useful.

A possible candidate for a sticky?  I don't know how that works.

I don't either, but it should be a sticky.

Maybe if Medwyn can update the first post with everyones contributions it might get stickied as the information would all be there in post 1?

A moderator would have to do that.

Also, I don't have my saber with me so I can't exactly measure, but the arbiter blade socket is about as long as a standard blade plug. Smiley

No harm done Smiley

A user can edit their post within one hour of posting. A moderator can edit a post indefinitely. If this thread takes off, I don't see why the mods wouldn't have it stickied.
