so this is obviously my first post on this forum, but i've been doing research around your website and i have found claims that there is a color difference between the mid-grade and the ultraedge-mid. apparently the ultraedge-mid tends to make the color chromatically brighter (as in the actual color being a lighter version of the color, not necessarily more luminescent). i am currently considering getting a dark catalyst with consular green, but the blade i'm not sure about. i understand that the ultraedge tends to spread the color evenly throughout the blade, which i want, but i'm not too sure if making the color a chromatically brighter green is what i want, especially when i haven't seen the intrinsic color with my own two eyes. i love sharp, robust greens, so i wouldn't want the color of my blade to be a chromatically brigher/whiter green. i'm sure y'all have been asked questions like this many a time, but is there any way you all can clear this question up for me? i would appreciate it  |

Consular Green is the ONLY color that I like more in UltraEdge. I haven't seen a lot of colors, but it seems to me that Blazing Red, Consular Green, and Guardian Blue would all look fantastic in UltraEdge. Consular Green in mid-grade is not as impressive as other colors.

Well drizmo, there's a problem with this question, and that's that it's a matter of opinion. Some people swear on their life that it does "wash" out or lighten the color, while others swear it looks basically the same(I'm one of the latter). I would say get Mid grade, cause I think green looks a bit "funny" in UE, but some people think it's amazing.

Exactly. Just do some research, look at some pics, and then decide for yourself. Or you could order one of each blade!  |

Everything everyone says about this topic is entirely subjective. Understood? Good! Now then:
If you want, and I quote, "sharp" green, the last thing you should be doing is considering an Ultra Edge. Ultra Edge = Soft fluffy and full. Not sharp. The 'sharpest' you'll get is with the regular edge in heavy grade. The visible column of light is half the diameter and you lose nothing in brightness.

thank y'all very much for providing your opinions. i'll continue searching the forum for more images. are the images showing the different blade colors on the homepage of ultrasabers.com in mid-grade then? they seem sharp.

The cool thing about Consular Green is it looks great in either - some colors (Blazing Red for instance) are regarded to have a severe washed out look from the Ultraedge. I personally like it in both, but as navajas said the regular midgrade gives a nice pure color with no filtering. I would think that's what you're going for.
It's hard to tell in pictures, but basically the Ultraedge just broadens the light so that it encompasses the blade, as opposed to the regular edge which you can see the polycarbonate blade wall in. It's hard to explain unless you've seen it...
I prefer the regular midgrade - the pure color just looks great to me. Either way you'll be happy though! Good luck in your decision.

My review of my son's Archon also has comparisons of both blades. They're in red but given what Nero wrote you might want to see it: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=1101.0 |
