MAN you aren't kidding. I've been eyeing that pommel for a few days now. There are SO many sabers it would look good on, but I will definitely have to pick a couple up for my Spectres. Thanks for reposting those pics!

Don't make me pick, they both look fantastic! I ordered both of mine without engraving; hoping I didn't make a mistake.

Personally, I prefer the engraving, but I think the saber looks okay without it as well. To be honest, I think the reason you're getting your order so quickly is because you didn't get the engraving; I think those hilts are on backorder.

Could very well be. I had thought that it could just be because the Spectre isn't as in demand as other similarly-priced hilts. Personally, I also like the engraving, but it just didn't offer as clean or "traditional" a look as I was after. If the circuitry had been cut into the silver parts of the hilt, as opposed to just the 'grip', I would have been all over it.

Not that I recall. It wasn't part of the list of hilts they could send in 1-2 business days. Plus I wanted the engravings. on the Spectre. I did order an Empress without engravings =p

I actually prefer the non-engraved over the engraved. As someone stated earlier, it does give a more traditional appearance and a cleaner look. In my most humble opinion, the pattern just takes away from the simplistic beauty of this hilt, but everyone is different. The only thing on mine is that I am starting to regret getting the 'D' ring as it can be a bit annoying as you swing it around hearing that clink clink clink noise of it rattling around. This is a GREAT hilt though, as I am in love with the Tsuba on it. I have mine in Arctic Blue, which is the first saber I have ever got in this color. Let me say this is a most underrated color as it is stunning in person. I hate that everyone is having to waiting on their hilts and I wish for speedy deliveries for all.
