Anyone notice the big differences of Blazing Red on an Ultra Edge blade now days? I actually kinda prefer the Ultra Edge type blades now Tongue Put an Ultra Edge Mid Grade blade on my Crimson Savior and I actually kinda like the glow look better than the standard blades

Most of mine are ultra edge blades. I do like the look better. Welcome to the club.

One thing you can do is sand the outside of your standard blades. It won't quite give you an Ultraedge, but it will dual diffuse the blade and give you a brighter and fuller blade with, I think, a nicer looking core effect than you get with a clear blade. I do that with most of my standard blades these days, it works great with both heavy and midgrade blades. The core effect is especially nice in a heavy grade. And, most importantly, it won't alter the colors like an Ultraedge will.

Cool. It's also good to explore all the options. When I was first buying sabers, I didn't know what looked best so I ordered both standard and Ultraedge blades to see what I like best. Darth Cephalus did a video about dual diffusing blade, that's how I learned to sand the outside of my standard blades. Smiley

One color that looks slick in an Ultraedge is Sunrider's Destiny.

I've reached the point where the only colors I want in UltraEdge are Arctic Blue, Emerald Green and SRD.  I've slowly come around over the past year or so to prefer even Consular Green and Guardian Blue in clear blades because the pure, rich colors are more striking to me and I judge it more important to see the pure color than worry about the "light in a tube" effect.  Also, I kind of like the "core" effect even without diffusing the outside of the blade though that is on my list of things to try.  This is a perfect example of how individual mileage can vary in my opinion.  Thank goodness UltraSabers gives us so many options so everyone's preferences can be catered to, huh?

I always liked BR in Ultra Edge. The only color I don't like is FO, it literally turns it gold. VA, BR, CG, AB, and GB have all looked great in Ultra Edge for me.

I got one in the mail today. It's my free grab bag for spending $600 during the Winter Giveaway. It's a Dark Sentinel LE V5 in blazing red with a 36" midgrade UE blade, and blazing red does indeed look super nice in UE. It's a single LED, but the UE blade makes for a nice bright and full blade all the way down. Smiley

I'm in the camp with ktulu, but for me actually, I like BR in a purple dayblade.  It is just so sweet looking in my opinion.

Now that's a look I hadn't seen before.  I may have to check into that.  Thanks for the pic and the idea Edon!

I'm with Ktulu.  I like the greens and blues in the UE blade but for the reds, oranges and yellow, the regular blades look way better since UltraEdge makes those look like a Popsicle

That's a really good look. I'll have to research day blades, now.
