I was lucky enough to get my hands on both of these today at the US booth. I'm happy to report the Butcher is in fact comfortable to hold, US really nailed the design in my opinion. The only caveat to that is that it is comfortable to hold as a one handed saber, although it is good sized and has some weight to it, not really conducive to hold with two hands as the curve where you naturally hold it only really has room for one hand. So be prepared to use the force with this one. I can't wait for mine to arrive in October.
The Savior of course feels good as both a one hand and two handed saber because there is plenty of comfortable real estate on this one, the surprise is that it is much lighter than I expected. Although I didn't try to spin their only display model, just from handling I expect it to be an excellent spinner and dueler because of how comfortable and light it is. Now I am wishing I took some pics with them but it was great to get to hold them both.
Good to read. Did the ones you saw had different anodized colors? I was wondering how the various colors might look like in real life. |

I would think similar to the Menace colors short of the gold but I have yet to see any of those colors in person either. Still a mystery to me |

They only had one of each on display at the booth (no blade, no electronics): Butcher with black anodizing Savior with gold accent on emitter Come to think of it, they looked exactly like the ones Deep showed in the video |

This is kind of a double post - for anyone not following the Raffle thread. I received notification today that my Savior and Butcher should ship by the second week in October.

I really can't wait to see the reviews. It's probably best I waited till they were released to see how people will review it and how the sabers will look and feel. I have rather small hands so it'll be nice to see if it's even plausible for me to have.

The Savior will probably be better for smaller hands, as it appears to be standard MHS size on the main grip areas.

So as in the standard hilt finishes? Wondering if the specialty blade plugs will still come with the sabers if we miss the pre-sales?
