Hi all,

Haven't yet received our first sabers but was doing some planning on my next one already and wondering if this the following is possible directly from Saberforge:

Disciple Weathered (was thinking Champion with a 12W red with a Dark Red leather wrap)
Customised with 1 x weathered Venom Claw from the underside of the blade holder
~~Customised with 1 x weathered Venom Claw from the underside of the pommel pointing forward to frame/guard the wielders hand (unless the angle makes this impossible to fit?)~~
Covertech knob to the left hand side of the hilt (to avoid any interference with the claw(s))

Can't justify it until we get our first order but would love to have a Sith style blade to compliment the Jedi style Epoch on order.

Any feedback on the possibility of this is appreciated!

Was concerned about tyre kicking what seems to be a very busy business but yep I emailed them and just asked about the one claw and covertech knob to the side. I have patience but really looking forward to getting this, the claw is important as I am planning a N'Gai Sith.

Oh I see, didn't realise the Viper had slots cut for the claws.... Wish I wasn't so impatient emailing them to ask now as I hate wasting peoples time.

Any suggestions for where I could find quick guides to cutting and adding my own claw?

Additional... Ok I see now also the blade retention screw is underneath where I was talking about placing the claw... If SF reply on email saying not for them theoretically all I need to do is engage someone to make a claw/blade that fits the curve of the blade holder and has a hole to allow fixing with the same diameter and thread as the current blade retention screw (just longer).?.?.?

Any further feedback appreciated.

IF saberforge won't do it, maybe you could get a local machine shop to put a .25 slot in there for you. Don't worry about that blade retention screw. If the claw goes where that screw is, you can always drill and tap a new blade retention screw hole somewhere else.
