Hey,

I'm looking to get sabers for me and my boys and want to make sure I get the right ones for us.  Any advise is appreciated.

1.  Blade Length: my boys are roughly 48 inches and 56 inches tall.  Can you recommend the best blade length for a saber?

2.  Blade Type:  what blade time would you recommend for dueling (mid or heavy grade) for boys 7 y/o and 11 y/o?

3.  Flash Color:  What flash color would you recommend for blazing red, consular green, and guardian blue blades?

4.  Edge Type:  Do you recommend Ultra Edge blades for the above mentioned colors?

Thank you again for your help.

1. Probably a 24 and a 32.  Though, the smaller boy may be able to handle a 32.

2. Heavy grade.  Boys will be boys and they will hold up to more.

3. Don't do FoC, sorry.  Though, were I to go FoC, I'd probably go orange or yellow for red, orange or arctic blue for green and violet amethyst or silver for blue.  Just my personal preferences.

4. Blazing Red looks icky in ultra edge.  Many of us feel this is the case.  The other two colors look amazing in either edge type.

I concur with scifidude79 on the lengths.
Though, 32" may be too long for four feet tall...

As for FoC, I prefer a silver clash with any colour.  Great contrast.

I agree too that BR and oranges look like pastel colours in an UE blade.

Here's an opinion you may value: http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=3096.msg38598#msg38598

1. go 24'' (and probably go with a short hilt)
2. if the kids are dueling, or playing rough with it in general, go heavy grade
3. if you dont want to get too hung up on "what color compliments what" go silver clash. it works on all
4. if your getting blazing red or any "hot" color get regular blade
heres a visual idea: my raven in BR with regular midgrade (in the dark)
