One of my favorite Ultrasabers hilt is the Reaper. I have two of them; Azure Reaper and the Crimson Reaper. Really dig that Azure/blue anodized hilt. The Crimson Reaper was among the very first sabers I ever bought and was part of my first US order! I ordered the Azure Reaper last year and after a period of lead time because of the blue anodized hilts, I have no regrets getting a second one. I don't think there are many videos putting these two side by side. So here goes:

Yeah they are pretty sharp looking. The blue anodized hilt nails it.

Very cool Lord Sidious! Great plan putting the two side by side like that - great to see. -1 (Have you seen the Mystery Box thread lately? Isola815 did an "inverted" colour scheme one. )

I really REALLY would love both of those. But my history with the crimson anodizing absolutely scares the hell out of me about ordering them. Ever since I held a Reaper for the first time I have been in love with the hilt so I can understand your love for them too. I have been toying with the idea of buying several more and doing other color schemes as well as a standard one to match my Inverted Reaper. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to give one of these ones a go. I also need to get my hands on a Curved Reaper! Thanks for the video LS

They might have a curved Reaper somewhere that you can negotiate to order, give it a try!

Another great video LS! I love how you show the details of the hilt up close and then from far away swing it around, two aspects that are important to me when looking at videos for saber hilts that I am interested in. I already have an azure reaper in GB and it is my favorite. I'm planning on getting another US azure hilt, either menace or mantis and wanted to see how orange FOC would look on an azure hilt so this video helped me visualize that, thanks. Lastly I love how your videos have such relaxing music! Keep it up, I've watched and enjoyed many more on youtube.

Thanks! I dig the Crimson and Azure anodizing that US offers. No other company has it as a standard offering that I'm aware of. The quality of the anodizing is very high as you might see in the video.
