The wait for my first saber is finally over and I couldn’t be more impressed with it. I received my venomous fury a day short of 16 weeks. Of that time, it took 13 and half weeks to make it to the build queue. Not that I’m trying to complain.
I chose the following options for the venomous fury:
Tier: Champion
Blade color: 12W Deep Blue
Hilt Finish: Standard
Sound Font : Viridium
Blade length: 37 Inches
I also chose to get the covertech system and LED quick connects.
The hilt was lighter than what I anticipated when I first picked it up, but after handling it for a while I believe it has the ideal weight to it. I love how balanced it feels without the blade, but tends to be more top heavy with the balance point being somewhere around 2” above the furthest point of the emitters shroud. The grenade section makes for a very comfortable grip. I found I have just enough room for a two handed grip with using a choke point just above the switch section for the top hand. The hilt has no sharp edges anywhere, but the top edge of the shroud. I personally will not bother with taking the sharp edge of, because the hilt didn’t jab into my leg at all when I hung it off my belt with the covertech system.
With the 12W led I was fairly impressed with the brightness out of the box, but it was truly impressive after a full charge. The blade was lit fairly even with a brighter base flair. I really can’t wait to order a 12W plus LED down the road for a more evenly lit blade, even though the 12W does a great job. I’ll also probably pick up a frosted white LED for a color change option down the road.
The sound is epic and I don’t think I’ll ever forget the first time I pulled the kill key and then ignited the saber. I still have to play with the setting a bit more to find the perfect motion sensitivity for the hilt. I can’t wait to get a 2nd saber with the crimson sound font for a comparison and see which appeals more to me.
I’m very impressed with the saber and will deff be purchasing my next saber from saberforge. Now for the pictures for me and I apologize that I have no real skill with a camera.
