I call the saber a Redeemer, but it is the ultrasabers' Archon!

Good honest review in my opinion.  I'm curious to see how long this stays up however.

Interesting color choice on the Archon there.
Wobble may be due to the emitter design, but I wouldn't recommend dueling with it

Hahah, appreciate it! Why's that? Because I also included my custom saber near the end?

Yeah, I found that the top portion of the emitter I was twisting, doesn't come completely off and makes the blade hole a little deeper, but the inner foil get's scrunched. Like you said, may just become a shelf queen lol

You mentioned polishing the inside of the thin neck but it is  already lined with foil to help with the light. Also you can only use the heavy grade blade with the V3.1 emitter.

Thanks for the video, hope you get the color worked out the way you want it. Nice saber!

No, it is because I have experienced one of my longer written reviews was deleted because I was too honest, also I miss Isola's video reviews and it looks like they did a similar thing to his and now he just doesn't do them anymore, which in my opinion is a big loss to the forum.  It is disappointing and hope this does not happen to you too.

Yeah my buddy showed me the seam inside the neck. Seems silly because the metal could be buffered to a mirror polish given the time. Thank you for the response!

Aww, that's a bummer. However, ultrasabers isn't sponsoring me, so being objective and covering as many details as possible is my number one priority. I hope it doesn't happen, but I'll still post reviews and videos Smiley

Hello, DarthMirage. I have the same saber with the same specs execpt I went with covertech wheel and no d ring. Anyways, my point, do yourself a favor and buy the archon v2.1 emitter. If you are going to be doing a lot of spinning, that emitter feels better. The only time I have my v3.1 emitter on anymore is for show.
