Actually I find the Ultrasabers vs. SF quality on this topic relevant, because it was mentioned in the review, for one, and because there are a lot of people, myself included, who are in the same boat of wishing they'd found SF before they found Ultrasabers.

Not to say anything particularly negative against Ultrasabers, they just cost more, for less. And being able to discuss what exactly it is that you were able to receive on one saber and not another is, to me at the very least, part of the review process and discussing the quality of what you got and expected.

So! That's just my two cents on that matter... as for the Gladius, I hope you get some pics up soon! I'm about to purchase one myself andgetting more and more excited about it.

Children, play nicely ;)

In future, if anyone feels that a post is getting off topic, let a moderator know who will come in and get it back on course or delete extraneous comments. Thank you.

Hey Mario... that's how we BC Canucks play when the winter weather is so warm that there is no skiing or snowballs. But your point well taken and thanks for minding the boisterous children. :dry: :whistle:

Haha All points noted. I think that the US comments are warranted in this situation. Comparisons are part of the reviewing process. To validate that point I'll say this; compared to its U.S. counterparts, the Gladius is a much better product considering the look of the saber, durability, and price.

Revan has a good point as these things can get out of hand, though I don't think this is one of those situations. We did handle ourselves in a very respectable manner, if I do say so myself ;)

As far as I am aware, Phil has only explicitly stated that the thin neck sabers are incompatible with quick disconnects. As the resident expert on thin neck sabers, I understand entirely why the QD concept is incompatible with the design of the thin neck sabers.

Phil has also stated that the current clips used for QDs are too big for the smaller Apprentice sabers, though this will be remedied sometime in March when the smaller QD clips arrive from Phil's distributor.

All other sabers should be fully compatible with QDs.

I can say that the Gladius can indeed have quick dis-connects! My warrior came with them and is quite easy to access and remove if needed.
Sabers I own:
Hero Sinister Prophecy, Weathered, Yellow/Blood Orange
Warrior Gladius, Weathered, Purple

Excellent review, I like how you outlined all of the parts for people who are new to the product. I can't wait to get my first saber and do a review for you all! Should be in another 2 weeks :lol:
