Came into day and I will say its gorgeously built, It a lot better in my large hands than the Korbanth V1.0 Duke, I instantly love the blade plug,the finish is beautiful, I can see dueling with it if I ever get my elbow and wrists back in order.
My plan for it once I can sort out a switch set for it, Hopefully SF CS can help me, otherwise I'm pretty inventive and will have to be. I'm going to use the Hero PNP kit I move between several of my hilts so it will be another in my inventory. will be RED/DR, with Amber/White FOC mainly but any mix of those. 
Blade plug so nice. 
Pommel side, the hole in the bottom fits a 12mm recharge port 
All and all it a very well designed and built hilt, Well DONE 
This is a Side by with a Korbanth V1.0, Count is larger, but the Korbanth is heavier, and not as comfortable. |

I like the Count more each time I see it! Beautiful!
The Korbanth is made of steel, thus the heavier weight for a smaller saber. Yes? |

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

Yes indeed, steel and heavy chrome.

Once again, we share the same saber tastes Vechaljian
 It's interesting to see the comparison with a Korbanth, especially for the curves, which are different on each end. Didn't you also have the UW version? The count I ordered was with SF's switch solution (the red trigger) which houses a 4x4x3 tactile. I ordered a bunch since it was cheap so if it's what you end up doing on yours and you need that sort of switch, let me know, I'll send a few your way.

Awesome stuff! Thanks for the wonderful pics. It's especially nice to see that pommel close up, and that blade plug is great.

Did it have switch holes drilled near the emitter?

I'm surprised the old Korbanth version is that much larger.
Congratulations! |

Actually the Korbanth Duke is the Smaller one, the Count is a bit larger, but its feel better in my hands.

No, you can get it that way if you want, I asked for the red switch version thus no holes in emitter.

Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations! Ordered mine about a week and a half ago in a Champion tier with dark side fonts. The anticipation is real.. I can wait.. I think...

I was wondering if you could get it without. Requested in the notes? |

I read the Korbanth is made of steel and that might be why it is heavier than The Count's aluminum hilt. Have fun! I'm still waiting for the shipping email from SF for mine.

Gorgeous, I'm chomping at the bit to get my hands on this saber. I'm curious about the sabercore 3.0 so I think I'm gonna get a Champion tier instead of DIY but I'm waiting for a sale to pop up to save a little cash.
I think the curve is more pronounced on the Count vs the Duke, which I like. It looks amazing, One of Saberforge's best in my opinion. |

Quick heads up, sales aren't available for the Count because of the complexity of the hilt and the low margins on it because of how much goes into making it. So, may not be worth waiting. Get your hands on one now!

I love Count Dooku and am currently looking at this for my second Saberforge investment. Are there any suggestions for someone who is considering purchasing this saber? Thanks.
