My Arctic Blue Bane looks just fine in an UltraEdge Heavy Grade BUT, it makes the saber blade heavy.

If you plan on going full force than get yourself a Heavy Grade.

Though the Mid-Grade blades; including the standard UltraEdge are designed to bend slightly on the hit to absorb the impact and recoil to allow for quicker movements.

I assure you that Arctic Blue (AB) is bright and vibrant; it shines very well through all the blades.

OH! Almost forgot.

Welcome to the Forums!

The heavy grade blades are the most durable, but they have some dimming due to the thicker walls.  The midgrade blades are still very durable, but are lighter and brighter, so I typically recommend them.

Thanks for the quick help!
I have like two options:
Initiate v3 (still don't know if HG or UG) on Arctic Blue and Pointed Tip
or
The Aeon (hilt kinda long for me though) (still don't know if HG or UG or UEHG) on Arctic Blue and Pointed Tip
I need the Brightest and most resistant one, and still don't have a clue!

The saber you will have to decide for yourself but if your hands are small than get an Intiate V3.

Also the standard Heavy Grade should suit your needs just fine, though you may want to wait to see if someone else offers a different opinion.

That's it, that's why I was initially going to get that one on HG, but then I saw the other one had UEHG or HG and I got confused with the brightness thing.

I have! Spent the whole afternoon reading it, but decided to ask you people because you might have some useful info!

Well then you get a point for doing some research on your own.

It's really a toss up.

I like MG, but my wife swears by UE. Personal Opinion matters.

If you have the money should just buy the opposite of what you decide on as well. Props to Master Nero, he mentioned it just a moment ago in another thread.

That way you have two different blades, because pictures are fallible; you won't know exactly what you like until you see it in person.

So If you can buy the HG and the UE-HG.

Nice! Hope to be hearing from others too!

The Consular is MHS compatible at both ends as well but I have to say that the Overlord with the War Glaive emitter.

I love everything War Glaive, The choke would add fantastic spinning capabilities; very smooth.

To be honest, having seen both possibilities (Consular + DWG/silver claws and Overlord + DWG/silver claws), I'm heavily leaning toward the Consular. With the shroud, it looks fantastic, and I honestly don't like any of the other mhs emitters anywhere near as much (including the consular's). I'm thinking that Bane's Heart will be the primary LED color (of course with quick disconnect), and Dark Violet Amethyst as my second MLS (although based on how much I love my Pyrestone Orange, that might be a really strong contender).

I've seen personally what you mean about the spinning capabilities - my master has a custom saber he's working on with a war glaive emitter. It handles like a dream.

Hi! My names Kristen, but usually when I'm gaming it's Krys or Krystenia, which is why there's a why in my user name. I just got my light saber in today and I'm pretty excited, I've browsed the boards a little while I was researching my light saber, but I wanted to introduce myself here before I posted anywhere else.

Welcome Krys!

Which one did you get?

1Dark Standard Issue v3 Staff with initiate blades, in VA, no sound yet. It's pretty amazing.

Oh that sounds choice.

Everyone has a purple staff and now I want one.

Initiate blades FTW.

I love the PO color - and it looks great on the primary black tone of the Phantom.

What draws me to the consular is the removable shroud. With the shroud, it can be hidden as a Jedi like weapon (throwing off hapless fools who would assume its owner is a Jedi). Without, it is definitely more Sith like.

The Overlord just looks awesome, and I think would give me more options for what emitters would look good. I'm particularly thinking the war glaive (black finish for the body, silver claws)... I think that would be a sick combination.

Color wise, I know what Magenta looks like - I've done enough graphic design, print work and color photo development that I'm very used to the color. That would look fantastic I imagine. As for the VA verses DVA, if I'm going for Bane's Heart, the VA might be too close, so I'm thinking the DVA (more blue is appealing).

My beast Overlord!

Hey everyone, name is Spencer, and I've been oogling US products ever since they were still all PVC, but being a poor student has barred me from entry for years.

Fortunately, Saturday was my 22nd birthday, and an old friend of mine asked for my current shipping address in order to mail me the empty bottle of top shelf whiskey he had gotten for me as a gift...and then this morning informed me the empty bottle was actually an Ultrasaber. Needless to say I'm absurdly excited, and it doesn't help that I don't know what the saber is, all he will tell me is it's a basic "dark" saber with a BR LED. I'm assuming it's a dark SI or a Dominix v2 or v3, but I can't be sure.

Anyways, on a more personal note, I'm a big Sith fan, believing they are capable of both good and evil, while the Jedi are capable only of sitting around trying to convince themselves to calm down before they get too excited lol(don't take it too personally light side fans). Also I'm currently playing a lot of SWTOR on the server Kinrath Spider(Empire of course), if you're on there feel free to say hi!

Anyways, I'm done rambling now...

Hmmm...first off, welcome and congrats on getting your first Ultra Saber...second, uh huh...Sith, capable of both good and evil while Jedi are pacifists...well let us just agree to disagree as I am sure that is just your want a be a Sith nature coming forward, trying to goad a Jedi into ending your painful and evil life...I understand now...you mean to say that the only good moment in a Sith's life is in his death, gotcha!
