Hello everyone!

Here is my video review of the Archon v2 that I purchased back late last year. Hope you all enjoy it.

does it handle the way you described in the video with the heavy grade blade or just the mid grade blade?

As I have said before, my Archon V2 quickly became my favorite for a lot of the same reasons you mentioned.  I got a Dark War Glaive emitter to replace the standard neck/emitter, when I feel like going seriously sith-y.  Of course, the BR Blade kind of points in that direction anyway. 

Nice review sir!

@haldir: Sorry it took so long to respond to you. I didn't see all these responses until now. But to answer your question, I'm not sure about its handling in regards to a heavy grade blade. Sadly, I've never used a heavy grade (I think I need to find some people to duel with first). Based on how it feels with the mid-grades, I suspect that it would feel pretty top heavy. Remember, the hilt feels light as a feather (compared to other hilts I've swung around). Sure, it does have some weight to it, but I'd be willing to bet its one of Ultra's lightest hilts (next to the initiate).
