Nice addition to your Great Collection
Ex66! Thought your mention when you started to describe the measurements was virtually directed at myself (since I have consistently asked the very same in your other Reviews
). Does the USPS Truck have a Reserved parking space out the front of your House? It seems there's always something new and exciting being delivered? How do you find the balance with a 37" blade given it's a smaller Hilt compared to your other Elites?
It seems that the Apprentice Blade Plugs are either still in circulation or the inclusion is completely random (compared to the newer style previewed in
Samross04's Oracle). I actually was inclined to believe that since the Kill Keys are the newer type, the blade plugs would be new also. However, evidently not so.
Personally, I liked the Green more than your chosen Deep Blue (quite possibly you intended to alternate between the two with your Photon) and if I ever was to get a Bastion, (as stunning as standard finish is) Lime Green Weathered may be the way to go (All Black being the first choice though
). Nice Review,
Thank You.
Thank you sir, you guessed correctly about the intended audience with regards to measurements!
Yeah I was surprised with the new kill-key. As for the blade plug, maybe SF is still running off old stock. Although I have one blade plug for every one saber that I own, I leave the blade in the hilt, so in practice I seldom use my blade plugs. But I do like the different designs and many of the upcoming new ones are nice.
Photon = bright! Proves again that while LED is very important, the blade itself is also as important to contribute to overall effect. I love it when I can just swap out the blade and boom a new awesome bright green. Works brilliantly with Deep Blue and Medium Blue.
You do feel the 37" blade a little more. But this also depends on the insertion depth even on the larger Elite hilts. The retention screw is fastened very close to the edge of the blade however. I may have preferred if it was a little further up the blade.
