Hello all, I recently purchased a 12w red warrior bane with weathered finish and it is now in transit on its way so there are a few questions I was curious about so I don't mess something up right out of the box
1. On a previous post about a bane i read that the blade retention screw is the screw on the left that is holding the front claw on. is this correct? I wanted to make sure i will be loosening the correct screw because i will not be able to control myself and will immediately want to put a blade in a start swinging it around once i get it out of the box. 2. On the retention screw topic, how tight or snug do i want to screw it in with the blade/blade plug in so that I won't have any worries about it flying out when being swung. I don't want to possibly damaging something up by screwing in the retention screw too much. 3. This is my first saber purchase and I haven't even received it yet, but I have already ordered a second saber. How the heck do you guys restrain/pace yourselves from just constantly buying more of these amazing looking sabers? |

1 - Yep. Even if you loosen the other screw, nothing detrimental will happen. You'd be able to take the shroud off if you took both out... that's about it.
 2 - Until it stops, then give it another half turn or so, so it's good and tight. Basic rule of thumb is, if you're not leaving a mark on your blade or blade plug with the retention screw, it's probably not tight enough. 3 - Who said we did....? |

Knytiri has them all due to sheer lack of control.

The first saber I bought from the SF website is still yet to ship (18 days now since the label was created  ). In the interim I've purchased 7 sabers, I'm in possession of four of those (three are in the queue) and I will have four sabers coming outa the ASP Kickstarter. Retraint, what's that?

I really have no measure of restraint lol. I bought my first (Dissident 12W Mint Warrior) on the 28th of April, got it by early June but before that arrived I bought an '07 Epoch 6W Warrior from ebay because I was impatient and couldn't wait. Then I ended up buying a Fallen 12W Red Champion from ebay a couple of weeks later. Then a week after that I bought a pair of Consular warrior's 12W Cyan (which have now been upgraded to 12W+ and one upgraded to champion) with a coupler, which has a few weeks left on it. The only thing stopping me from buying more is the fact that I don't have the money to buy more lmfao. I think I'd like a pink Phoenix or a Indigo Jade Fire next I'm weak *sob* |

If there is any restraint on my part, it is just the timing of my purchases. So, what it boils down to is - When it will happen...not IF!

Imagine what you will know tomorrow....

"Purchasing a warrior level apprentice saber, then re-straining oneself from upgrading it to hero tier by upgrading it to champion tier and adding the 12w+) before it's even being made" I feel like I should add this to the FAQ quick glossary, because it's painfully accurate. |
