Hey everyone, I'm from Iowa and now recently a poor father of 2..lol. I bought my Manticore about a week ago. Then, I saw a Chosen One on eBay and I couldn't say no. So that was one for me and one for my girl. So I had to buy the Initiate for my son...lol. Wow that was the fastest $1,000 bucks I've ever spent, but I will have so many fun times to come. Anyway, Thanks Guys

Welcome! that's a nice collection! My first purchase was a Phantom V3 staff, essentially a pair of Dominix V3s and a coupler, which also came with a free Initiate, which turned out to be an Initiate V3. So the day after that arrived I ordered another Initiate V3 and a coupler for my daughter. Soon thereafter another order was placed for a grab-bag for my younger daughter, who had not wanted one but changed her mind about 3 nano-seconds after her sister lit up her Initiate. So she will be recieving her Aeon V2 LE grab-bag saber on her birthday (I made her wait for it). :-) Oh, and with the summer deals I purchased a Bellicose RBG to expand my own collection. I will also be ordering a Guardian tricked-out, and knowing myself as well as I do there will eventually be a Manticore in there as well, and probably either a Standard Issue or Liberator. The Manticore will most likely be in either Fire Orange or Preystone Orange, and the other in some shade of green.  Yes. Its addicting... Just price them against exercise tools and remember that they can also serve as emergency lighting in power outages and such. It helps justify the expense... :-) |

To be honest I am not a fan of the chosen one. It looks kind of bulky to hold. What do you think? Is it comfortable and at all practical for dueling or is it just a show piece?

People who have the Graflex and the Chosen one say that it wields like the chosen one and that is one of my favorite saber to use. The grips are comfy, the length nice, the main complaint I have heard is the lever which can be adjusted or removed according to your desires. The people who have mentioned the lever have always come back and said they were able to make satisfactory adjustments.

I totally agree with you OISIN NOM and JediJosh. It is uncomfortable to hold and kind of actually hurts the hands.

Hey, please don't get me wrong I love the feel of my Graflex I was just trying to also mention the main problem people had with the Chosen One. |

I've actually sold the Chosen One now. I really just want to share the experience with both of my kids. So now I have my Manticore and I'm going to get a 32" Initiate v3 with Sound and a 32" Dark Initiate v3 with Sound. Now it's time for Family Battles...lol.
