Saberforge Saber number two
Champion Tier Weathered Bane - 12w+
Ordered this from the Etsy store at the end of July so qualified for the Xmas in July Promo. Again, took just under 2 weeks to be delivered door to door. I like this speedy service..
I received exactly what I ordered in the order comments. So;
Crimson Soundfont
FOC Blade Plug
FOC Day Blade (Red / 32")
FOC Stand (Imperial)
Ive wanted one ever since I saw Shameem's video on YouTube.. But I couldn't stomach the lead times from the main store.
However, as soon as this came on the Etsy store, I knew I had to have it..
I freaking love this saber design.. Feels so comfortable in my hands. And looks the shizzle..
Again, that 12w+ Red is really bright.. In hindsight, I could have gone for a lime green for a HR Giger Alien style.. But I'm still happy with my choice..
That all being said, I came across 2 minor niggles/issues..
First, the very noticeable gap through the middle of the hilt. I knew that this maybe an issue as I have heard some people with the same problem. I thought I may be one of the lucky ones, but alas;
It doesn't bother me too much and can live with that gap, but if anyone on the forum knows of a fix for this without sending it back to SF, it would be much appreciated..
Second, and this is just the luck of the draw, but the Imperial Stand doesn't fit the Bane due to the curvature of the hilt. I don't mind that at all as I have found a home for that with my SF Disciple. Real good quality stand though..
Just gotta look for a stand that can accommodate the hilt. The temporary fix I have will do for now.
All in all, very impressed with the quality of the hilt.. Beautiful and amazing craftmanship
Has taken the top spot (until my Korbanth Graflex 2.0 kit comes back with the install)..
Oh, that's my Kotobukiya ArtFx+ Darth Vader Statue I got a few days ago. Had to include a glamour shot..
