While the Templar seems to have a quick connect option, the Relic does not. Are quick connects available on the Relic?
This question can only accurately be answered by SF Customer Service.
The side ports on the Relic have metal extending beyond the ports. These look nice when the blades are installed, but seem dangerous otherwise. I've been told they can be removed, but then the side ports wobble slightly. Has anyone considered a separate piece to secure the ports, but without having the metal extending dangerously? I'd be interested for safety reasons.
SFCS can address this query of yours also. Alternatively you may also wait for a Relic Owner to comment or Post a specific question to
Execute66 in his Relic Review where he can give you direct handling feedback to your question.
I should probably email customer service about these questions
SFCS is the best source to consult and they are there to handle enquiries like this.
With what you have mentioned, it sounds like a Custom will best cater for what you are hoping to achieve, similar to
