To celebrate my channel's 5 year anniversary I take a look back at my very first US hilt, the Initiate V3 with Catalyst pommel and see how it stacks up 5 years later.

Nice little saber. That Catalyst pommel works like magic. I just purchased one for my Liberator—which I’m going to be doing some further customization with shortly. I tried it on just to see how it would look and it fits it so perfectly. Just as you said, like it was made for it. After seeing the way it looks on your saber and mine, I would seriously recommend that if anyone has a saber with a flat pommel, this just adds so much with that little extra layer of flair and a bit of a tapered curve to the end. It is an extremely nice touch

Prowl, I always enjoy your videos and you had humor into it as well. Love the comparison between the Initiate and your various Dominixs. "I'm actually 5'5 and a half, I used to be 5'6 but I shrunk, the say I'm close to 5'5, it's really humbling..." That just made me laugh out loud, have a point for a great review and a nice sense of humor.

Great video as usual, Prowl. It's nice to see your first saber from 5 years back is still serving you well. I've been wanting an Initiate V3 for ages, I may need to do something about that. I'm definitely going to get it with the Catalyst pommel.

Glad you enjoyed the review and my sense of humor. I've aged a bit since that first review 5 years ago.

Do you still give the Initiate V3 a 99 out of a 100? Good video as well

Atleast a 95 out of 100! It's a great hilt. Great review as always Prowl.
Thanks for watching!

That was a really great review, Prowl. As much as I like the new v5 series, I have always wanted a v3. And yours is exactly what I would get myself, but taking advantage of the Obsidian v4 option which wasn't available to you when you ordered yours. Ok, maybe do the mid grade blade like you mentioned just for the variety. Aside from that, dead on. And your first saber too.

Great retro review comparison and re-review brother!! That is a super sleek setup, and seems like it handles well. Plus, the animal print sheet set you had back in the day was rad! If silenoz see it he’s gonna crap himself.

Well done prowl period another excellent review. I don't know where I'll be 5 years from now, but I know I'll be loving saber and hopefully, my collection might even rival yours(probably not)

Nice saber for sure. An Initiate of any version is a saber I've never had yet before. Tried a v3 in person though and was a bit too short for me, especially a v2 x.x I love the new V5 though
