I got my Raven!  I've wanted one for ever, and its finally here! So, a review. Albeit a completely biased review, but nevertheless... Its in Violet Amethyst, with Adegan Silver Flash on Clash, and a Silver illuminated AV switch. It looks... GORGEOUS. Its quite a hefty saber, but it does work one-handed if that's what you like. The emitter area is really well designed, the blade holder is a good idea, and the strips of silver on black add to the prowess of this, amazing, saber. This is the saber to end all sabers, (IMO) and its just... Wow. If anybody is on the Fence about this, just go for it. Immediately. Once you get your hands on it, you will not regret it. The quality is First class, as you expect from US, but this saber takes my respect (and awe) for them to a whole new level. Its simply amazing. The Violet Amethyst lights this saber up really well, its so nice! And it really is a true purple colour, Even if it doesn't look like it in the photos. And the white FOC works really well with VA... So, photos: ITS SO PRETTY!  I got the Super Sith (SS) Pommel...  And the SS claws, too.  Saber on with Blade plug:  In all its glory...  (Its a 24" blade; all I had to hand)  |

Very nice saber and colour! The 24" blade looks very odd on it  What's the overall length of the saber including the claws? |

I like the raven too, it's going to be sith blade when I can get one, not a big fan of the ss claw but like the ss pommel. Enjoy  |

Very nice saber and colour! The 24" blade looks very odd on it What's the overall length of the saber including the claws? Yeah, I know. xD It looks a lot better with the 32" blade. I'll try and get some photos of it with the longer blade in.  And the hilt with the claws is 21" (53cm) I like the raven too, it's going to be sith blade when I can get one, not a big fan of the ss claw but like the ss pommel. Enjoy I imagine it would look good in BR... I got Quick Disconnect, so I might try it one day.  And I thought the same about the claws, they seemed kinda disproportioned in the photos I saw, but now I have them, I'm really glad I chose the longer ones. And the SS pommel adds a nice touch. |

Yeah, it is. But the weird thing is, it doesn't feel big. It feels just right...  |

Looks fantastic! I like it with VA. I want a raven too, but I want mine with the regular claws and pommel. Congrats on another awesome saber! +1 |

I can almost guarantee you'll like it more if its in your hands. Looks fantastic! I like it with VA. I want a raven too, but I want mine with the regular claws and pommel. Congrats on another awesome saber! +1 Thanks Prowl. The pommel was the only thing I really wasn't sure of. The normal one looks pretty nice too. |

Beautiful Saber mate love the colour I think its probably the right colour for the Saber.  I love the clawed sabers and this is on my wish list I think I'll go with the standard edition claw rather than the SS edition but definitely the SS pommel. |

Nice Raven. Been wanting to see one in Violet Amethyst just out of curiosity. Looks pretty good. I would've gone SS claws and plain pommel though for a more in game look. I may have to pick me one up but in Blazing Red. Had a feeling this would be a long hilt whichever claws you went with though but its still probably cool either way. =] Plus we finally got some Raven love. Lol.
