Just wanted to say hello from chilly Alaska.

Just got my first twin saber, Sentinel v4 with Adegan Silver and Arctic Blue, 36" Ultraedge Heavy grade blades.  Love how it looks, though I didn't realize just how long it would be put together.  Might have to cut the blades down a bit or get a couple smaller ones.  I'll try to get some pictures to post soon.

Hello and welcome to the saber forums. 

Which part of Alaska are you in?

We all love pictures, and cannot wait to see them. Again, welcome.

Cool, I like Anchorage, but I prefer the Palmer/Wasilla area. I love all the mountains around there.

We will be waiting.

BTW, what type of points would you prefer, Light Side or Dark Side.

I'd probably lean more towards light side, though I'm pretty sure I fall into the gray areas.

I feel that is how most people here are. But I will start you out with as LS point.

Thanks.  Yeah, I didn't realize just how long the sentinel would be with those blades.  Lol.   Posted first couple pics in the gallery forum.  Will do some better ones this weekend, including the full length staff.

Either you like Star Wars... Or you're wrong.

Welcome and congratulations to you! Don't have one yet myself, but I very much like the look of the Sentinel.  I've been to Alaska once and was blown away by that beautiful area of the world you live in. Chilly indeed, but part of its charm.

I just finished cutting a couple of my 36 inch blades down to 32 inches with little trouble using a pipe cutter and taking it slow, and then using an X-acto type precision knife to cut the film instead. I haven't re-glued it and so far doesn't seem to matter. I'm quite happy with the results and loving the shorter 32 inch blade better. I quite like the 30 inch length as well. It'll be great to see some pictures when you get a chance and hope you'll feel welcome in this community. It's a great bunch of people here.

Want to say thanks for the warm welcome here.  Since I'm from Alaska, gotta have something warm, right?

I love living in Alaska, great scenery even if it does get pretty cold.  Going to try to get some pictures out in the wilderness with the saber sometime soon.  In addition to some general pics of the saber in use and stuff.

I thought about cutting down the blades, but decided I'd just order a couple shorter ones first.  I do like the look of the longer blade and all, but it defiantly won't be easy to pack.

Some things I was thinking about down the road was a folding double bladed saber like the temple guardians from Rebels used.  I liked that folding design, just not quite sure how the mechanics will be done yet, though I've got some ideas.  I've also been thinking about a pair of Tonfa style shotos, though once again, I've gotta do some research on design and how I'd like them to look and work.

Welcome!

The Sentinels are great hilts, but I'd definitely recommend shorter blades if you're planning on a lot of staff work Smiley

Have a point for the cool colour combinations, especially the silver blade Smiley
