TOPIC: SF Polling Which Sabers to Add to Website on FB
SF Polling Which Sabers to Add to Website on FB 9 months 3 weeks ago #20084
|
Over on their Facebook page SF is conducting an informal poll about which limited run sabers to add to their website in 2016. Linky-linky I chimed in for the Bane, Archon, Phoenix, and Silver Knight. Sales have been solid for the Bane (especially the Bane), Archon, and Phoenix and I'd like to take a shot at the SK which I missed the first time around. Judging by the sell down on the Ka'Tano, Grandmaster, and Destiny interest in those has been a bit tepid.

Looks like a lot of votes going for the Bane, Silver Knight and Archon.
I hope the Phoenix gets put in the vault just to make mine and the others that got one a bit more rare

That's what I was hoping for the SK! Especially since there are other companies that offer versions of the Imperial Knight as a regular release. If the SF SK were to remain a limited release it would make those that have one a rare breed indeed. Them: "Oh, I have an Imperial Knight." Me: "Yes but is it the Saberforge Siver Knight?" Them: "Well.. no.." (sad face) Me: "Hmm... didn't think so." (Happy face beaming with pride) |

So needless to say… I voted for the Ka'Tano, Bane and Grandmaster to stay… C'mon Phoenix… get put in the vault… lol |

My three would be Bane, Archon, and Grandmaster. I think Bane should stay regardless since for SF it meets the demand for the unique curved hilts.

if I saw the Silver Knight up for sale on the regular site, I am pretty damn sure I'd end up buying it. I saw that one after my Venomous Fury was well in the build phase and it made me start second guessing my choice hahaha.
I do not use facebook though so I don't think I can vote. Off topic as I find it hard to tell, but the silver knight isn't powder coated is it? Just the regular metallic colour? |

The first run of it wasn't powder coated and was the standard aluminum finish that SF uses (220 grit). I would anticipate the second run (1 week away if FB was accurate) would use the same finish.

no powdercoat? NICE. I think I better start saving then haha.

I'm not sure why SF has decided to integrate powder coat on some of their designs. Do people like it? IMO it makes the saber a bit slippery and looks like that plastic from those Hasbro toys. *shrugs* One of the main reasons I ordered a Vigilant from the custom shop was to get the powder coat removed.
I think I better start saving then haha.
Yeah... Forum member Ryusui customized his SK w/a custom paint job that I reeeeally like. One of the charms of the SK is its' simplicity but I like the additional black bands. Might end up commissioning something similar from the custom shop. |

The silver finish you're talking about isn't powdercoating, it's anodizing.
 SF only recently started offering powdercoating through their customs shop, it's not standard on any of their sabers. Yet. That is subject to change in the future. |

So anodzing is more like the black sections on a Venomous Fury then? I am not as familiar with these terms so I apologize for getting them mixed up, and the only reference I have is the saber I own, heh.
When I do get one (If they're re-released it'll be quite a while before I get one anyways, dang holidays coming up!) I'd like to get it with the standard finish, as I really like that metallic look the Venomous Fury has going on that I own in contract to the black. But yeah if they bring it back it'll probably take me about 7 months to managed to justify the costs of a Champion Silver Knight to myself hahaha. Those black bands look really nice on it. I have ideas of what I'd want done to my own to customize it a bit. Nothing major though, just mild tweaks. I like the idea of the thumb screw for the blade retention, no need to carry an allen key! |
