Hey, everyone, here is my second Diamond saber, a Spring 2017 raffle entry - the Crimson Scorpion Diamond RGBW with Claw! I am again DELIGHTED by this beautiful, awesome looking saber creation from Ultra Sabers! I love the red anodization finish - it is BEAUTIFUL and has a gorgeous satin finish. I love the claw so much, which I didn't expect, and I think it adds a flare that makes this saber a triple thread with the two windows in the emitter on one side and the claw on the other side, not to mention the subtely of the "dimples" on the outside edge of the claw itself. I can't leave this one alone, can't put it down. The silver/red anodized finish is more amazing than I ever imagined. You don't know the beauty of the Crimson finish until you see one in person. I also love, love, love the double layer hilt. The Diamond board is cutting edge, and I still haven't grasped how much potential this thing has. Lots of time for that, though, so no rush, right? Haven't tried to program any custom gestures yet, or for that matter, connect the Crimson Scorpion to my computer yet, but again, no hurry, right? Lotsa time to ease into this ridiculously powerful new saber tech. I have discovered what feels like to me "hidden" gestures, activating a flurry of blade color changes with accompanying sounds, and it's one of those things that makes you wanna giggle like a kid who just discovered something they weren't supposed to It's fantastic. Looking forward to getting to know all the ins and outs of this new world I've stepped into with the Diamond controllers. Video here:

Great review buddy! I thought something was wrong with my Diamond saber the first time I tried to turn it off. Glad you mentioned that so people are aware.

Thanks, Seth! Seriously, I was worried, too, thinking there was a wiring problem, and I was ready to email Ultra Sabers about it. I'm so glad I didn't, figured it out on my own, because I hate to bother them with stuff like this.

Sweet review. Scorpions are such cool sabers. I think the renegade pommel is an nice addition. The pics of all the different colors and corresponding fonts was a great idea and a big help. Thanks for sharing.

I am simultaneously extremely jealous and happy for you. You just keep on getting sabers, which is awesome, but if you don't slow down, you will have them all before the end of May.

Love the review. Funny how you tend to obtain sabers I'm interested in. When I first got smitten with the EH, you got it. When I decided to get a CG Prophecy, you acquired one via a grab bag before mine arrived. Now that I'm beginning to like the Scorpion (didn't like it at first), you have it. I'm stalking you for reviews from here on out. And point.

I like the silver pommel idea. I'd had the same idea for mine tbh. I was thinking maybe a Bane or a Raven plain pommel. But seeing as mine was my I.R.H.C saber, I want to give it a chance "as is" before I go changing it up too much. Those neck windows still have me worried about if I'm going to like this one. But it's too late now! It's already on the way Thanks for the video and for the info on the Diamond system. I'm looking forward to getting my mystery Diamond saber to get a chance to play around with all of this stuff myself Points (when the clock allows) as always, Brother!

Great review (again) LB, that's another gorgeous hilt. The red really pops in your pictures. I just gave you a point, so we'll call this one a crisp high five.

LB -I totally understand where Taegin is coming from. I am am extremely excited for you getting this incredible sabers because you are such a nice guy and you give us these awesome reviews that are very well put together. At the same time, I am so jealous of you that I want to wave my hand at you and state, "These are the sabers you want to give to Grey Jedi Sam Adam" in hopes to catch you in a moment of weak mindedness Point to you for such great reviews my saber friend!

Very nice looking saber there. I like the Renegade pommel on it better than stock

I'd never considered a crimson saber...until I saw yours LB, that is one fine looking hilt (and I love the pommel; looks very aggressive). Fantastic vid&pics
