Hey all, I'm new to the forums, although I've been reading them for a few weeks now. Got my Graflex CE the other day, here's the link to the video review. Hope you enjoy it, leave feedback if you'd like!

Hey! Thank you for the review. I like video reviews I don't have to read anything  But as far as the longer screw for the bunny ears, we were actually made aware of this a couple weeks ago and we have since been shipping the Graflex with a longer screw to hold the Bunny Ears in plae and secure the blade holder from the rear. Thanks for putting that in your review and offering that piece of advice for any Graflex SE or CE owners that may like to try this as well. The Red flash Orange looks much more vivid in person to me than it appeared in the video. I am very glad you like your new Ultrasaber and again thanks for the positive review. |

Yeah, I should mention, as Deep said, that the red flashing orange is very vivid in person, it looks great, and distinct. I'm glad I went with it, instead of an opposite color, like blue or green. I imagine yellow would look nice too. When I get another saber, I plan to make another review like this one, hopefully more detailed and less.. unprepared.  |

Way nice saber. Though can't really think of the original Graflex as a Sithy saber. Its cool to know now that if I ever get a Graflex I won't get wobbly bunny ears/blade holder. Sorry to hear about your blade too. The orange flash with Blazing red looks sick and the Blackstar font is amazing. One of my favorite Sith fonts. Screw it. Dark Side renegade for life!  |

It's true the original Graflex isn't a sithy saber, but I decided to mix it up and go with something that had a lot of extra detail in it, the bunny ears, 2 extra buttons, the activation box, etc.

Yup. Doesn't hurt to do something different. So when does the new blade and screw come in? Hope to see new video with the new blade. Short blades just seems hard to maneuver. Thats just me though.

Great review, and kudos for ordering the hilt in a nonstandard color. I bet you were one of very few to go with red, but it looks awesome!

Personally I think it looks great with the red blade. It really is personal preference of the Jedi/Sith. Who says a Sith can't have a silver hilt. I know Arctic Blue is going to look amazing on a black hilt  |

First of all... WOW that thing is loud!  My Overlord is loud too, but I thought it was just me. I love the sound font you used. I'm still using the default Obsidian but I am thinking of switching to the Starkiller font. As for the screw that you added, I couldn't tell that it was not part of the original saber design, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Awesome saber dude! |

So a longer screw in the bunny ears reduces the wobble? Stanf. I've been looking for a way to make it more solid.

Just be sure it's not too long, otherwise the bunny ears will just float around on the screw. That's why I made the top part of the screw fatter with some heat shrink, so it would wedge into the ears better and keep them secure.

Just a follow up to my review, I got my replacement blade today, no breakage, looks amazing. Came in a triangular box, gotta say, it was much more sturdy than the other one. I hope all sabers ship in these boxes from now on, especially for far away customers. |

Cool that you got your new blade with no damage. Hope my Dark Shock ships at the end of the month with the new box. Well, I'm getting the saber in August really but you get my point. Its going to be Violet Amethyst with an Ultra Edge heavy Grade blade, Obsidian with red av switch and li-ions. It'll be my first Obsidian saber. I'll let you know how the saber ships at the end of the month.
