Of course. It's only the most iconic saber of all time.

I would actually boldly suggest the US design of the Electrum Wind is a significant improvement over the prop that provided the general inspiration. To me - anyway. I always thought the sizing / proportions of the pommel to the grip to the emitter were . . . bizarre looking. It always seemed unbalanced & awkward to me. But that could just be me. Some people in this world like Vanilla ice cream, others prefer Chocolate ice cream. Why? Nobody knows - they just do. (Don't get me started on people that like Mint ice cream. It's like trying to eat frozen cream whipped with mouthwash. Yuck.) My thoughts exactly. I've never been a fan of the canon design, but the Electrum Wind looks absolutely gorgeous! If I had the money to spare, I'd buy it today...

I have been debating on what saber I wanted to get as my first for a while, and then I saw this on facebook a day or two ago, and I knew I just had to have it. Earlier today I ordered the Stunt version in blue, mostly because I can't manage the full price of the fancier models. But I'm still happy either way. I can't wait for it to get in. Also, first post. Hi guys.

Right on scifidude79! Hope they're still in stock for you. If not, I'll get in line for one. A saber this beautiful is worth the wait, I think.

I get what you mean. I understand completely why someone would want it.... It just doesn't appeal to me. Thankfully I do just have enough money to afford the electrum wind with emerald driver, but since I have no experience with the emerald driver and it will be my first I need to do some research first... And I'm far too tired right now to do that after a full day out. Hopefully tomorrow night I might be able to put in my order

First impression - that's a good looking hilt. Now to wait and see who decides to order it and give it a full review.
As soon as I hear back from Ultra Sabers I'm gonna order mine. This is one badass hilt.

He's probably a review shopper. He likes seeing what consumers think of a product before buying it. I'm the same way with a lot of things. (especially video games) I researched the heck out of UltraSabers before buying my first one. I watched review videos on most of the hilts and read reviews posted on the site as well. The only reason I'm even planning on buying the Electrum Wind before reviews are up is because it's an UltraSaber. My experience with this company and its product so far has been 100% satisfaction. Plus, it doesn't have any features that give me pause, like the thin neck on the Archon V3.1. It looks like a solid hilt. (besides, it's probably going to be a display piece for me anyway)

Yes, I watched hundreds of reviews before getting my first, and I'm still doing so before I get my second in March, but as you say the Electrum Wind does look like a solid saber with no drawbacks...and as Deep sayed, the grips are thinner than the Graflex's, and they look more comfortable too...
