OK, so I will add my 2 cents now.
I have to do this the only way I know how.
Favorite Dueling saber: The Arbiter has just taken the top spot for me, with the Lost Gray as my #2.
Favorite belt/eye candy: The Archon V3 then the Guardian.
You keep surprising me with how much the Arbiter has grown on you. That just ups the ante for how awesome of a raffle prize it is. How does the weight of the Arbiter compare to your Lost Gray? Given that the Lost Gray is a little wider in diameter how do you like the grip on it? Now that we're talking about the favourites in our own collections mine are: 1. Archon V2.1 2. Menace SE 3. Consular I can't see these being dethroned any time soon but the Lost Gray has me wondering about it slipping into 3rd. |

Its as much a surprise for me as it is for you. like I said when I got it, I would never have purchased the Arbiter, but since I own it now I find its definitely one of the most comfortable hilts I own. Im tempted to send it back and have US upgrade it to a V4 card and have them add a QD Tri-C setup. Well here is the specs for you now. The Arbiter is 14" long and has a diameter of 1.45", it weighs in at 1 lb 2 oz. The Lost Gray is 12" long with a diameter of 1.6", it weighs in at 1 lb 8 oz. I have to say that I like the smaller diameter of the Arbiter. It not that the Gray is bad or uncomfortable, because its not, its quite comfortable, but something about the Arbiter just feels better. |

Both my Aeon LE v4 and Catalyst are very comfortable to weild, the Cat more so due to the forward choke point being in a more natural position to grip at.

Just in case anyone didn't already notice - the Arbiter is a "Deal of the Day" saber right now at $20 off. That combined with the 15% discount for the Christmas Sale, is an excellent deal. |

True that!  you're getting more rewards points out of it, though, so that might ease the sting a little.  |

Thank you for the info and your input ... points. It's helpful for me as a potential Lost Gray owner aiming for sometime early in the new year. |

I have to say that I like the smaller diameter of the Arbiter. It not that the Gray is bad or uncomfortable, because its not, its quite comfortable, but something about the Arbiter just feels better.
I was just comparing the length of the Arbiter against the rest of the hilts and see that the only hilts that are as long or longer than the Arbiter are the cross-guard hilts, the Mantis and the Scorpion. All others are 1-2 inches shorter on average than the Arbiter, but as you mentioned the Arbiter has a smaller diameter than most, so with that combination it seems like in a duel it would really give an advantage of not only superior grip but optimum leverage for added strength. Question: It looks like the blade inserts deep into the emitter similar to the Archon. Is that right, about 2 inches? |
