I didn't know you had any reviews up? The Yellow is really great. Quite a unique color. The same with Fire Orange, Master Nero will tell you the same thing. |

She was actually the pioneer of the Sentinel Yellow color, IIRC. The two biggest SY fans have at last met! |

Sold me on the yellow (it's pretty wizard), was always a fan of the yellow since I played SWKOR back in the day. Question though, sorry if I had missed it but what is the length of the blade 24in ? and if so would you recommend a 32 if I was going for a 2hand style of dueling ? Thanks for the videos.
P.S. did you get the mid-grade and Ultra one ? fans the public wants to know !

Kham uses Initiate blades, which are 24". He personally loves to dual wield with two of them (forgive me for intercepting the question Kham) - the short blade makes it ideal. If you're going for 2-handed dueling, I would recommend either the 32" or the 36" for a single saber, gives you the extra reach and a little more weight towards the tip (you can handle it since you're using 2 hands). Depends on the saber, your personal style, and your size as well. |

First, you guys are awesome. Thanks for all your help. Last question, is the initiate a good size hilt for 2 handed 32inch blade, or will I need something in the 9 - 12inch range to be more comfortable ? Thanks again for all your help in making my first buy here  |

Thanks again for all your help in making my first buy here Depends on your hand size and all. I'd say if you want a good two-handed hilt, go for one of the full sized ones (most are around 12 inches as opposed to the 9 inches of the Initiate). This is especially recommended if you have large hands like me. |

Thanks again for all your help in making my first buy here all i have are 32" blades, and they are awesome. depends on the grade though, heavy vs. mid. midgrades are lighter, and i think pair very well with initiates for some fast swinging. i rock mid-grades in all my hilts and future hilts. Depends on your hand size and all. I'd say if you want a good two-handed hilt, go for one of the full sized ones (most are around 12 inches as opposed to the 9 inches of the Initiate). This is especially recommended if you have large hands like me.
but dont forget about the V3s nero! the new V3s actually lend very well to 2-handers who want a smaller hilt. I wish they made the SI in a smaller version, but i'm gettin a 36" in that one |

Like I said, it depends on hand size. The new Initiate V3s are only a half inch longer than the V2, coming in at around 9.5" - for my hands this would be a little small to get the kinda control I want out of a two handed grip. It could work for some though. |

I have small hand so like Kinght said, more control with the initiate hilts. If their bigger hands ull want bigger hilts, nero is tall, so his longer blades don't look unpropotinal on him. On me they're huge and unwieldy |
