Okay, that's
perfect. Thank you.
Quick question, tho...what blade is it? Ultraedge? Mid/Heavy grade?
I'm really,
really close to buying my first saber, and that's the last hurdle.
Durability vs brightness; I need to find that sweet-spot, that Goldilocks zone, there, and then I'm ready.
The blade in the picture is a standard mid-grade blade. The visual color isn't radically different using an ultra-edge blade but it looks different, more like a push-pop orange. :-) Same color, but 'softer' if that makes sense.
The standard heavy-grade blade looks very similar but the core looks narrower with a bit more attenuation. No real difference in color, but its a LOT more durable for dueling. I've never noticed a real difference in brightness between the mid-grade and heavy-grade blades. Others however have, so there's something to be said about the eye of the beholder. :-)
Unless you're going to be doing some serious dueling, however, I'd recommend a standard mid-grade blade. They seem to be the best universally.
