Not to mention that US blades can actually be swung without a lot of fear of damage to the saber. I mean, I can remember how hard I used to swing my little plastic saber back when I was a kid - if I had a kid now swinging the FX blades, I'd go through the roof, I imagine...

What is the consensus on using mid grade against heavy grade?
I know I wont hurt the Heavy but is there a chance that I could hurt the Mid grade?

I generally avoid mixing different grades, but that's just me being protective of my beloved US blades. The midgrades are plenty durable, but those heavy grades have a lot of power behind them and they're very rigid. You're putting a pretty hefty amount of force into one spot on the blade. Basically you can do it, but for durability's sake I wouldn't recommend doing it all the time. |

Giving the thread a bump - would anyone happen to have any other FX sabers to compare to US blades/colors? Help out folks making their purchases!

Does anyone have a saber in "Bane's Heart" VA? I'd really like to get a staff in VA and was considering Dark Violet but after reading some of the descriptions I'm not sure. Perhaps comparing the Dark Violet and Bane's Heart could help me make a better decision before ordering.
Anyone have these tow colors so I can compare them?
Dark Violet    the blade is washed but you can tell by the reflective light. |

 Guardian Blue.  Arctic Blue.  Sundrider's Destiny.  Blazing Red.  Pyrestone Orange.  Fire Orange. (It's really hard to capture. Look at the color It is emitting on to the backboard. That is the color of Fire Orange.)   SENTINEL YELLOW. (There are two pictures because sometimes it captures a lighter color as opposed to the top pic, which looks more Orange.)  Violet Amethyst.  Dark Violet Amethyst.  Bane's Heart. |

Thank you Lord Yega. Every blade in those pictures is in a standard Mid Grade. -------------------------------------------------- IF some one would like me to take a picture of a color in an Ultra Edge just PM me or post here. I'm sure if I don't see it someone else will help out. |

Agreed, that was awesome Kham, thanks a lot. Those are actually very accurate representations guys, at least from what I can tell of the colors I own. Is Pyrestone really that red looking? |
