I’ve been fortunate enough to have got my hands on quite a lot of US’ hilts over the years. Discounting colour and size variations, pretty much the only ones I’ve not tried are the Malice, Raven, Renegade, Graflex, Chosen One and the Emperor's Hand. I’ve been among the first to try out the Sentinels, curved Reapers (which seem to be potentially on the official release list soon) and the Electrum Wind and I’m waiting with bated breath for the release of the next US hilt.
I... may have a problem... And yet, time and again, I find myself coming back to my first hilt, an Aeon v2, and its brother, an RGB version of the same hilt. They’re slim, grippy, light and simple, and very nice to handle.
When I ordered my Electrum Wind and Manticore, that tipped me over the price point for a free grab bag. I’m enough of a geek for US’ products that I was as excited about the freebie as I was either of the other hilts.
Whether or not US knew where this one was going I couldn’t say, but I scored big with this one; A Dominix LE v2 is a perfect hilt for me – black and silver in perfect proportion on a hilt that I love using. The Guardian Blue LED is gorgeous, and means I can pair it with my RGB Aeon for an all-blue staff.
If I remember to pick up the right Aeon, anyway... I am, as ever, delighted with my new lightsabre. That it was free makes it all the better – two lightsabres I wanted became three. Thank you, Ultrasabers!
