You ma'am have just decided for me which saber will be my next. I'm thinking sentinel yellow, and a pointed tip for that clone wars look.
I agree with you on the weight issue incidentally, it's very much what you're used to that counts, i train with steel weapons with rebated edges, a three pound sword feels considerably heavier in the hand than any US i've come across, and a three pound viking sword feels heavier even than that. To be honest, the matter of mass in the hilt can actually be a problem, i find i don't get the best out of my saber unless i've deliberately not used my steel weapons for a while, i have to get used to really pushing the hilt downwards sometimes, and that's really not an issue with real steel, quite the opposite.
POINTS CAP'N, ON THE HORIZON!

Thanks kindly!  My bokken has an extra long handle, so the Bellicose is extremely comparable. I also have a Sentinel V4 and when I'm swinging it around 1-handed, I swear it's going to fly right out of my grip because it's so freakin' light! I really like the weight of the Bellicose. Good review, and that is a good lookin saber you got there! The Bellicose looks like a classic type saber, very nice.
I find it to be very classic as well! That's another reason why I got it.  |

I have to admit i was concerned about the covertec, but seeing you actually hold it i realise it'll be clear of my left hand by a decent margin.
I was considering modifying the hilt a little too, mainly just the colour scheme, i was thinking of filling in the black lines in gold, and then the grooves in the grip section with silver.

Very nice Bellicose =] I want to send in mine for an Emerald upgrade so badly. Still have main color Guardian Blue but pulse to Arctic Blue then flash yellow =] But for now when I can I'll just be getting me a new Ultra Edge Heavy Grade for mine. I have the Episode 6 font on right now. I switched the button color to gold and short grooves pommel for mine when I got it and silver blade holder as well. Right now its just got an older Heavy Grade blade with tons of dents from switching blades with another older saber I used to have so the dents are showing some

I was beginning to wonder if the resident spokeswoman for the Bellicose would make a review.
It sounds like it's as I expected, an excellent saber and a "serious piece of equipment".
It's always nice to see someone actually hold a saber when you're wondering about it.
Great review Nox.

You bet! I broke my phone some time ago and just got my replacement, so I didn't have a way to record my nonsense until now. I definitely wanted to show you all how I handle such a large saber.  Good review, light side point to you!

It's a fabulous saber. I've got my eye on the Guardian right now, so after I purchase the Dominix, I might go for that one!

Still have main color Guardian Blue but pulse to Arctic Blue then flash yellow =] But for now when I can I'll just be getting me a new Ultra Edge Heavy Grade for mine.

Well, it sounds like you loved your Bellicose to death in the best way possible! I think you would find it worth the upgrade, though. Or, you know, just have two. I have to admit i was concerned about the covertec, but seeing you actually hold it i realise it'll be clear of my left hand by a decent margin.

The covertec doesn't get in my way at all. In fact, I think it's a nice "finger rest" for certain grips. It lets me know I'm putting my hands in the right places! Your mod ideas sound pretty sweet, too. |

Sounds like you use it the same way i do the disc pommel on my hand&half sword, it's not a terribly comfortable thing to grip, but it's useful for a sort of "trigger grip" and pivot point. With a traditional blade it helps with edge alignment too, although that makes zero difference with a lightsaber of course! Why thank you, i shall definitely have to learn a little photoshop-fu and see if i can mash up a preview! |

The only time it annoys me is if I'm switching from hand to hand and it tags my thumb.  But that usually means I was doing something wrong, so . . . |

You'll love the Guardian, just keep in mind that it's
not that conducive for spinning/weilding. The hilt
is bulky and busy. With that said, it looks totally
awesome as a canon saber. By all means order the
sucker, just thought you should know.

Finally, I was expecting the representative of The Bellicose to do a review! I am also very glad to know that I'm not the only one considered the "the crazy lady down the street with a lightsaber". And props to you for the awesome color, SRD is fantastic! (or any variation of its lovely tealness). Hope your ceiling fan stays in shape, point awarded.

I love that you all consider me "The Official Bellicose Representative" LMFAO! I do just love this saber. And I mean, I was "the crazy down the street" already, but now, I have a LIGHTSABER! Ha ha! You'll love the Guardian, just keep in mind that it's
not that conducive for spinning/weilding. The hilt
is bulky and busy. With that said, it looks totally
awesome as a canon saber. By all means order the

Oh, I just want that one because of Obi-Wan. Like you said, very canon! I do want to have a few that are just for looks. I probably won't get sound with it. I just really love the hilt! |
