At long last my first saber arrived today. The UPS man pulled up, got out of the truck, and says "Looks like somebody got a new golf club". Oh how wrong he was. I didn't bother to correct him. I was looking at the box to make sure it was intact. And it was!

So after I raced back upstairs to my room I carefully weighed it in my hands to decide which end the hilt was on. ( I wanted that to come out last

) After some deft tape slicing this is what I saw inside

I pulled the blade out and was very excited to see this little beauty wrapped up in bubble wrap



It is my very own blue anodized Standard Issue V2. This hilt is beautiful. I looked but I don't see those "cosmetic imperfections" that make it a grab bag saber


Now to flip on the blade....

Its a blue anodized SI with a Guardian Blue blade. So amazing.
I really couldn't be happier with this saber. It is a beautiful blade with a beautiful hilt. I went grab bag because I really couldn't make up my mind on what I wanted. At this price I got an amazing saber that helps me to appreciate the high quality product that Ultrasabers is putting out. I was a little worried about going full out on a saber and then not liking it but after this I don't think I have anything to worry about.
I also now understand the issue with getting color on camera. This is rough!



Now to start planning for number 2....
