hey I'm new here and I was wondering if anyone could post a good picture of the sentinel LE v5, I'm trying to decide wether to get the sentinel or the lost grey (recommendations are also welcome)

I'm afraid all I have is a Dark Sentinel LE V5...

AS for comparing it to the Lost Gray, I can't do a true side-by-side as I don't have an LG, but from everything I've seen and read they are quite hefty.  Basically an inner core that's about the same size as the Sentinel with an outer sheath wrapped around it.

But you wanted a picture.  :-)   Here's what I have, with a couple of other hilts with it for comparison.  First side-by-side with the Sentinel V4 model, then in a group with a Dark Standard Issue and Iinitiate V4 LE.








You should also check out the Ultra Sabers Review section, there are a few good reviews of V5s there now.

Thanks so much for the reply! It is a beautiful saber and my budget is not that high, so this might be a very good pick. Thanks for the comparison too, I was thinking about getting the gold version with sunriders destiny blade color, but the dark version seems cool as well.

Either will look great, but I have always liked the light "mixed" colors (SRD, arctic blue, violet amethyst) in dark LE hilts.  :-)

Impressive collection of V5s, Chalion.

The Lost Grey is a beautiful saber. It has a bit of weight to it and can be used with 1 hand. I can and do, duel with it. That being said, it's  not great for spinning unless you're REALLY GOOD at it. It is also a bit pricey, something to consider for a 1st saber.
