Haha, it's good to see someone else who uses their height to their advantage. I'm 6'5" myself and while duelling the extra reach has come in handy on countless occasions. Now if only we could get US to release a 42 inch blade for us giants...

Great pics there... need to descide and get my first saber asap... I am very small (5'6") and my gf is way longer. Used to battle boken with longer people though. I would say you have to watch the smaller fast ones if they are managing to block upwards and slide under your guard  |

 Lemme know what you think! As always, if you guys have any requests I'd be happy to oblige. I'm glad someone resurrected this thread, I hadn't seen this saber before - love it! PVC or metal? |

Metal. It was a custom hilt I got off a guy elsewhere. It's an excellent hilt! @Stephen - those short people always manage that! It happens in fencing too... they move faster to compensate for their lack of reach, slipping inside your range. It's quite effective. |

So sweet. Does the gem on the emitter light up?

No sadly it doesn't, it's just there for show. The one on the bottom is actually a kill key though, which is nice to have. |

There are so many fighting styles here... Wish it was managable to meet all of you and hold a small tournament. Maybe a european Meet can be arranged one day. |

Wonderful poses. And as a fellow lover of Fire Orange, it is indeed an under appreciated color. I mean, it's pretty much Lowbacca and a few others.

Thanks! I can see why Fire Orange is perhaps a bit less popular (the red blue and green are your main movie colors, and everybody likes purple), but that actually makes it cooler to me. The rarity of it makes my saber more unique. I'll have to make another thread like this with my new Consular  ...or maybe just update this one! |

Are the blades for the Fire Orange the normal or heavy duty ones?

Heavy grade, 32". They work exceptionally well for the staff, I recommend them. @Chuckiton - I have been meaning to grab a SRD saber... |
