New Sabers: Ultrasabers Fulcrum & Lost Gray

[Lord Bladewraith]

Alrighty, folks... I'm all in on this and decided to get both as a set.  I just placed orders for the Fulcrum and the Lost Gray!  After being all over the place on these, my head was going to explode, but I used the Jedi mind trick on myself to sort it all out in my head and come to a decision.  Like many here probably feel after choosing your options on a new UltraSaber.  Whew!  Every order with UltraSabers feels like the first saber I purchased - the anticipation and just feeling like, so friggin lucky that UltraSabers is there for us all.  Always a cool experience, so THANK YOU UltraSabers!  As a kid I never thought that as an adult (is that what I am?  Ha! I'm feelin more like a kid these days) I would have access to be able to own A lightsaber, let alone many.

So, on to the particulars...

First of all, I initially thought it'd be a no-brainer to go Emerald on both, because it's awesome, right, but considering all things including finances more carefully, I backed off a little and went with TRI colors instead with Obsidian V4 sound.  I placed an order for each separately - double the orders, double the raffle fun!  Who knows, maybe I'll win something.  It'd be like the first time in my life, so I'm definitely open to that idea

For the Lost Gray I'm going to also use a 30 inch photon day blade that takes the light from the TRI Guardian Blue LED and uses that wavelength of light to excite the photons in the dye in the blade which then converts the color to a super bright, eerie "Rakghoul" green, sort of like a lime green.  So that will give me 2 colors, Guardian Blue or Lime Green for that one.  I'll post a review of the Fulcrum and Lost Gray just as soon as I get them.  That's going to be a fun review to share.  These two new sabers from UltraSabers could become my new favorites!

Good luck to EVERYONE entering the raffle, and I hope everyone gets to order these!

Nice.  I thought about a Photon Green blade for the Lost Gray, but I just have to do Emerald, so I ordered just the Fulcrum first, and I'll do the Lost Gray later.

Thanks.  I think it's an awesome idea to get them in Emerald.  I was THIS close to getting them both in Emerald, but I wanted them both now and then I thought... maybe there's a way to have your cake and eat it, too... buy the TRI Cree and use colored day blades, especially the photo blade, to change it up a bit.  No substitute for Emerald, obviously, but it's cool with me.  I have a violet amethyst day blade as well that works well with a guardian blue, but the photon blade is sure unique because of the way it interacts with blue LEDs and reproducing an even brighter green, so I got excited being able to get both colors on a smaller budget.  I did order a Bellicose Emerald RGBA last week for my first entry in the raffle, so my Emerald "fix" is appeased for now.  I'm feeling spoiled.

I shall (right now as I type, I haven't yet). I tend to order the Raffle Entry towards the final day as the Dark Side of the Force builds strength to guide me on the decision.

What a fantastic pair of sabers, shame yellow isn't available in the standard options as it means I'll have to go full "emerald" on the Lost Gray. Ouch, that's going to get expensive.

Anyone want to buy a second-hand kidney?

Loving the fact that we're seeing new models coming out. I consider it a personal bonus that US seems to have the largest selection of sabers that can comfortably be wielded two-handed properly (Guardian, Consular, Scorpion, and now the Electrum Wind and Fulcrum are all 12" or longer hilts) without making them glowing katanas. Most other fabricators seem to be sticking to hilts in the 10" hilt length range.

I agree with you Old Bean...I have looked at many of "The Other Guys" sabers and have also noticed the size limits.  Not that I plan on buying anything from them.  I just like to look at all the saber designs that are on the market.  It gives me ideas on how to modify my current sabers.  the fact that US has released three new designs this year just proves to me that US listens to their customers and knows how much we love their product.
