LB's Diamond RGBW Crimson Scorpion Review

[Lord Bladewraith]

Very nice looking saber there. I like the Renegade pommel on it better than stock

I'd never considered a crimson saber...until I saw yours   LB, that is one fine looking hilt (and I love the pommel; looks very aggressive).  Fantastic vid&pics 

Thanks, you two!

@Therion: Yep, I specifically ordered the Renegade pommel for my new Crimson Scorpion. It's found a permanent home I think... still, looks great on just about any hilt, too.

@TheDutchman: tbh I never thought I'd get one either and then looking more closely at all the Crimson sabers, this one just clicked. It's fantastic. I highly recommend everyone have at least one Crimson hilt in their collection.

Hi.  Thanks for the video and pics of various blade colors.   My favorite is the red blade and that Renegade pommel looks fantastic.  I so want just the Crimson pommel and may have to get an empty saber just for that piece.

After watching your video again. I really think I like the original pommel the Scorpion comes with best, but I think I would prefer it stripped down to silver.  Your color on that did turn out a nice looking red. I was supprised to see Isola's coloring on his.

Hi, D7! I was honestly surprised that the Crimson Red goes so well with any color. I kinda thought it would clash with some blade colors, including blazing red and especially Bane's Heart, but it magically just seems to work. I like Isola's Crimson Scorpion with Bane's Heart, too. Curious - what would you pair a Crimson Scorpion pommel with?  Have a certain hilt in mind?  I ask because I was wondering which other hilts a Crimson pommel might make sense with. Thanks for the point!

Hey, Seth, yeah I'm happy with the anodized red color on mine, and I like the idea of a pure silver Scorpion pommel.  That would look amazing. How do you go about stripping it down to silver? Have you done that before?  Does it turn out with a smooth finish?

The finish is smooth, but it needs a polish . . . and whatever you do, PLEASE wear gloves (unless you DO actually want to remove your fingerprints for ever, just ask Isola )

[Jediseth]

Yes I do, ask JediXIX. 😁 Thanks man!

That is pretty gnarly, guys.  

Points to you both.
