Nice saber! I have a Dominix V4 in Tri-Cree FO and I have to say, If anyone is going for that color, don't do what I did and get an UE. It looks SO much better in a standard blade.

Yeah, I have an ultra edge blade in my other saber with FO. It looks a bit off. That and red just don't do well with the UE blades. |

Agreed, I’m not too fond of the popsicle look on them either |

That is a nice saber. I’ve admired those tapered choke points in various videos, but your pics really show them off well. I’m not an experts saber spinner either, but it sure is fun—and kinda relaxing just playing with it. So I get exactly what you mean. They aren’t the sort of collectibles you just want to display  |

Thanks guys. While I do have a QR coupler, (got it practically free) staffs aren't really my thing. I do find this a very comfortable hilt for spinning. |

Thanks, it's a great saber. Though, I am going to have to invest in some more thin walled blades. After spinning one of my Aeon V2s with a 32-inch midgrade during my days off, I picked up the Dominix LE V3 with its 32-inch heavy grade yestarday, and it seemed so heavy. The two hilts are very similar in weight, so it shouldn't have been that much heavier, so it has to be the blade.

It has to be the blade. I’ve spun with both my Aeon and Dominix V4s with no problems on a mid grade 32” blade for over an hour without fatigue

Oh, I know it's the blade. I don't know what I was thinking, paying extra for a heavy blade. Oh well, I can use it in a heavier hilt, like my Guardian when I finally build it. My Electrum Wind came with a 36-inch midgrade UE blade, which I cut down to 32" and stuck in my Dominix LE V2. I put a 32-inch UEHG into the Electrum Wind and it's really well balanced because it's a heavier hilt.

Balancing out your Electrum Wind with a UEHG blade, smart move. I was looking st one until Ive seen it’s actual size so I may hold off on it for now. How do you like the EW?

Crap, Emperor's Hand, not Electrum Wind. The Electrum Wind doesn't need a blade, it's disassembled. The Emperor's Hand was actually well balanced with the 36" UEMG blade that came with it, but I like shorter blades. (tall, ceiling, etc) By going to a 32" UEHG blade, I get the same balance with a shorter blade.

Okay, cool. Do you prefer 36" if you're spinning or wielding outdoors? Or is it 32" all around? I'm 5'10 and I prefer the 32" blade myself, it feels better and I don't tend to smack things with it like I've done with the 36" blade. I agree with the EH, it's well balanced, I love mine with the UEMG as well. I was surprised as to how comfortable it was to wield in my hand |
