Saber Forum

A couple of quick pictures of my entry (Guardian, Guardian Blue/Bane's Heart) and prize (Dominix v23 LE, Blazing Red):


I'll do a proper review (with proper photos - the Guardian especially deserves better quality pictures!) in the next few days, but I'm really liking both of them. I don't have any other red blades, so the Dominix is a cool prize to get.

Can anyone else with a Guardian let me know if they end up with a slight gap between the top of the pommel and the base of the hilt? there's a slight space between them on mine, and I can't see any way to tighten the pommel any further.

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone else's entries and prizes!

Yes that is as tight as it goes, yes, the gap is common. Yes mine has this gap as well. No your pommel will not come loose during a full speed duel. Remember this is an ultrasaber.

Nice sabers.

Cool Saber's mate really nice. That Guardian is beautiful I'm stuck on my first light side Saber now Guardian or Bellicose aahh

Very nice, James.  Now you have your first BR saber!

Definitely jelly of the guardian. Both look awesome!

Def take the time to show off those excellent sabers James.  We all wanna see more of them :)

Mine will be in some time today I just have to go to sleep sometime. Once I get them I'll post an unboxing vid and pic's for y'all

Can't wait:).

Very nice. I love my guardian too.

well, my sabers arrived early. so here's some photos! apologies if they aren't the best, it was with my phone cam (I really can't be bothered going and finding my proper camera)

My two AS shocks and my raffle prize- a CG manticore :D very happy with this prize!

Those Shock hilts sure are beautiful, they look really good as a staff.  And congratulations on the Manticore.

Just stunning, B1ondeange1! I love the look of a silver blade on a silver hilt, and it looks good in yellow, too.

Nice looking sabres there; indeed and those shocks do make a nice staff. I also like them in yellow.

Ok you ready for it.....

Awesome pics. Can't wait for the review:).

Thanks,
I use to be a fairly good photographer and those skills always come in handy. I love how the bellicose came out I'm the pics and Im really happy that I went with the pyrestone orange I think I shows a real true orange

Yes I agree there I've seen other pics/vids where the orange doesn't show orange it's red on camera:).
Point for some awesome sabers

Same pics from the Announcement thread - will post a detailed review either later today or tommorrow.

My Scorpion in GB and my raffle prize - Initiate V3 in CG.

PS - being as these are my first UltraSabers, I can neither confirm nor deny that the hilts slept next to me in bed last night.  Or that my wife woke up around 4:30AM, saw them, gave me a sleepy "Really??", and rolled over back to sleep.

stop it - i cant take it anymore....

why arent mine here yet!!!???  ;D

nice sabers - that dark catalyst looks good in either color

Be pacient my friend they will arrive soon enough.
And thanks my brother is gona love it especially cuz its his first saber and its an emerald saber to boot. He wanted a red one with sound and now he gets one of the top of the line sabers. Me I'm happy with my bellicose that thing is a beast of a saber hard to beleve its the least expensave of the preamimum sabers

I keep one by my bed in case the power goes out. They make good flashlights! ;D

They do.

flash lights and home defense  ;D

True although its always good to have a stunt saber for that purpose cuz the obsidian will wake up the family in the middle of the night

Relan, you make a good point on the sound.

I speak form experience

Love  the twin silver shocks and Low Profile Pommel on the Manticore FTW!

That Dark Catalyst looks great too!

I also keep a stunt saber within reach of the bed in case of a power failure.

My order -- Archon 2.1 with sound & 4-channel Emerald driver. Current blade color is blue with red FOC (though FOC isn't working at the moment, I'm hopeful it'll get worked out since that was the reason I went with Emerald). I swapped the stock neck and emitter for a Manticore one to show off the pretty blade colors and pulse/clash effects.

My prize -- Prophecy with sound in orange. I'd actually ordered the Shock LE pommel to modify the Archon further, but it didn't quite look right there. On the Prophecy though, especially with the gold knobs, it looks really nice. Thanks, Ultrasabers!

The prophacy looks good in orange nice prize I got one in v/a in the first winter reffle. I'll have to try out the shock le pomel on it my self. Point to you for some nice sabers.


I hope you can get that foc issue worked out

Mate! that Shock LE pommel on the Prophecy looks Wicked! It just balances the whole thing out nicely! + 1  ;D

!

A Prophecy prize!  I have two Prophecys (in BH and GB), it is my favorite US hilt. Congrats on a great saber! ;D

Like the shock pommel:).+1

I tried out my extra shock le on my prophacy after seeing your post and I kinda like it so it'll sit there for now. Have another point for the insperation.

Ha, thanks! Just a lucky coincidence that it worked out so well -- really makes it look like "an elegant weapon, for a more civilized age"  :D

Here's my entry an archon v2.1 and my Emerald prizes, a Graflex CE, and an Azure Reaper.

Reviews to follow:).

How's that Graflex feel? I just ordered an emerald one myself and I'm stoked to give it a few swings.

It feels good:). It's my widest saber because of the grips, And because of the Guardian I'm used to wide and long sabers:). It's my smallest saber from emitter to pommel but the balance is fine.

My Graflex review

@ Josh, those sabers look fantastic.  I love the Archon in VA(DVA?) nice color choice.  Is the Reaper in FO or PO?  Either way, have a point! :)

Not sure my brother set it up:/.

I think it is PO, the color looks similar to my Scorpion in PO.  As a Florida Gator fan I approve of an orange-bladed Azure Reaper. ;D

All right, yea I think he just fiddled with it til he was happy with the shade of orange, no prob with that tho:).

Well, well look who finally got their sabers.  Congrats Josh!

Prowl1701 is a Gator fan, I knew there was a disturbance in the force...LOL.  At least it is a FL team.  I like the Gators most of the year, except for that one game that comes up every season.  Prowl you live in FL?

I like the look of the Graflex, but it always seems that all the stuff on it would get in the way.  I will have to watch prowls review of it.

Yes, and I'll be needing to get a review of these ones as well:).

I actually live in Mississippi but I have been a Gator fan since the mid 90's.  Don't even get me started on Florida State, I was furious when they won the national title this year. :P

I've been told I do good reviews, let me know what you think!

Gorgeous sabers Jedijosh, congrats!

Thanks Hazard I was playing playing with 'Em and something Eerockk did came to mind. Here's a photo.

^ I remember  Eerockk's youtube video about this.

The staff look nice!

The GREAT SABER!!!!  Very nice!  With or without a blade, it's a weapon not to be taken lightly!

And yet, when people ask for suggestions on replicating something from a picture and my response is a hilt over 30" they seem to disagree....

Thank you I think it weighs 3-4 pounds but the balance is nice. I got the chance to throw in the reaper but not to snap a picture. :'(


That's because they don't know the power of a GREAT SABER!!!!
