Blade: The initiate is the stunt saber setup and standard 24 inch blade. The Butcher is a 36 inch UltraEdge Heavy Grade blade but I ended up cutting it down to about 30 inches. I am 5'9 and underestimated the blade lenghth.
*chuckling* as someone at 6'2... I can empathize with the standard blade lengths being a bit too much
I've been contemplating whacking mine down to 30" or so, as well, too. I'm sure my ceilings and ceiling fans would appreciate it
Love both of those sabers.. just haven't been able to convince myself to pull the trigger on something a bit more elaborate, like the Butcher, yet.
