Brief update on Facebook from Justin, the lead at SF's new custom's shop, showcasing the new Arbiter with their new powdercoating. =D



I think it looks pretty awesome... according to the post:
Behold. Custom powdercoating. Coming soon to saberforge. This is a customized arbiter with silver vein powdercoating. Those small tube sections behind it are sample peices that will receive one of the 27 custom colors we will offer.

Who's excited to see what all the colors and options are?! I wanna know what the cost will be... lol. I'll update when I figure that one out. ;)

Ohh, that's pretty.

Is the powdercoating something that's part of the ASP rollout, or will it be available for pre-made sabers too?

It's part of neither, it's through their customs shop. I'm not intimately familiar with the details of the custom shop yet, as it's new and still getting established, but from I understand, you'll be able to order sabers through it, and have them customized for extra moneys.

When I first heard of it I expected it to basically be the Legacy Saber division of SF.

Following a similar (less discounted) price point and a strong design interaction like the Legacy saber tier from the ASP kickstarter.
We still have yet to see any approved designs from that but I expect they will be stunning.

... Okay, Saberforge seriously needs to stop making me want to fly up to Portland and just start throwing handfuls of money into Phil's face.

I haven't even gotten my first saber yet, I really don't need more than two or three, and I don't make that much money to begin with. Stop tempting me!!

I googled "electrum" but only got pics of makeup. What is this finish you speak of?

Think the dark-gold looking parts on the Sidious/Palpatine saber.

Afadir is right on the mark. Electrum was the in character name for the metal used on a few light sabers.

For example Mace Windu's saber is constructed of metal and electrum with a Hurrikaine crystal. So it has a silver metal with gold appearance with a purple blade.


I really want to be able to use some of that gold-ish color for highlights on my custom asp sabers in the future or work with the customs shop to create something from scratch.

I have always wanted unique (non-prop-copy) sabers since as much as I love many of the "face" characters I could never see myself as one of them no matter the costume.

Here you go:

Electrum was a rare metal once used in lightsaber construction as a sign of Force mastery. This lightsaber modification was called an Electrum Detail or Electrum Detailing.[1] A purely cosmetic accessory, this feature was only allowed to high-ranking Jedi, an honor bestowed on Masters at their promotions, after having demonstrated their skill. It was a rarity among Force-users, both Jedi and Sith. Mace Windu was known to have used an Electrum hilt for his lightsaber, as was Darth Sidious.[1] This Electrum detail gives the lightsaber hilt a distinctive gold color.[1] Electrum was also used to make jewelry. Electrum was mined on several planets, including Abregado-rae and Duros

  • Attatchment is forbidden. Possesion is forbidden. Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, essential to a jedi's life. So you might say, that, we are encouraged to love.

I want that Arbiter ha. I was about to order one this week I think, (after waiting to see if acolyte would get back in stock). The v2 looks great. But now I want this powder coating, that one in the picture looks awesome.

I guess it would be too early to request that on one right?
