This might be taboo in these forums, but while I prefer Saber Forge's awesome hilts and blades, I'm just not sold on those tips. Ultra Sabers has rounded blade tips and they look much nicer in my opinion. Does anyone know if it's possible to replace the default bullet tip on a SF blade with the rounded tips from US?

Thank you for any advice!

It gets tricky because, from what I understand, the threading is different. You'd have to strip the threading on either the tip or the blade and then glue in the tip. Mark Burkett posted a video about how to remove the tips from dueling blades awhile ago: Linky-Link .

The rounded tips from US are not compatible with SF blades. Ours are thicker, and threaded, which make our blade tips about 150x more durable than US blade tips. Ours also illuminate better, as they use mirrors in their tips to block the light from going through the end of the blade.

Ooh ... Smart! Very smart! Thanks for the details on the blades, I was wondering how that worked :)

If you just want the tip rounded, I believe you can ask them about that in the order comments, or at worst case, you can use a PVC pipe cutter to trim the point down and then sand / round off the tip.
