Execute66 Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1331 Thank you received: 627	This is not a full review, just some quick photos to share. Out of the box yesterday, Templar V2 (i.e. weathered) with Dark Red Leather wrap. I like the weather; it is soft, very firmly glued and has that new leather scent you might be familiar with from a new leather lounge/car seats etc. The Dark Red matches nicely with the weathering and 12W+ red LED. Will do a youtube later. Thanks!

I like it a lot. Forum user Keikun17's weathered Templar: Full Album Weathered Avenger from SF Main Site:

Is it as big as the Relic? I remember in that video how enormous it was, like a Scottish Claymore.

Execute66 Offline Platinum Member Posts: 1331 Thank you received: 627	Thanks all. Yeah I also noted the weathering on the pommel's square cogs. Looks nicer weathered as it matches the rest of the hilt. The Templar is not as large as the Relic, both in size dimension and by weight. It looks a touch more compact than the Relic. Shall do a comparison later.

The Amazing World of Ex66! Grandeur. Significance. Luxury. Your SaberForge collection claims exponential growth. Being impressed with your BO Relic is now topped with a V2 Red Templar. Congratulations. The volume of your trophies is liking to SaberForge's Showroom.

The weathered finish partnered with the Dark Red wrap is fast becoming an effective combination (similarly showcased by Shiz's Disciple) making a pronounced statement. All things red now conjure up the association of strength perhaps suitable to dub this, The Administrator! Nice addition to an already generous collection.

You may need a wide-angled lens to capture all members of the complete family portrait of yours. I hope more restraint is exercised now and that your Hilts are no longer passively placed against furniture for the 'quick-grab' you once wrote of.
Excitedly, the great IDP will be making another appearance in your upcoming Video Review.
Thank You.

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. We have a wonderful online community here.

I too wasn't that warm to leather wraps or any wraps on the hilt. But I gave this one a go and I am quite pleased with the combination. I highly recommend Dark Red Leather to go with weathered hilts if you are thinking of one, especially if matching with a Sith LED color.

Shall do a video that may include a comparison (even if a simple one) with its bigger brother, the Relic. I think this could be helpful for folks wanting to compare.
