Merry Christmas SF forum!

I suppose my favorite saber memory is all the little girls I see dressed up as Rey instead of Anna or Elsa =P The movie was awesome, really exceeded my expectations. The fans keep growing, and the love for sabers, the lore, and the sci fi that accompanies them are stronger than ever...

May the force be with you all this holiday season

It's difficult to nail down my favorite memory as it's been nearly a full year since I placed my first order and become a member of this forum. There has been more than 1 favorite memory so I will post a couple.

As a few have already mentioned, the unboxing of my first hilt is quite vivid as it's my first experience with a SF saber. When you see that Toblerone finally arrive and you open it to see the treasure inside. A soothing feeling comes over you as months of angst wash away when you finally have it in your hand and see uo close the craftsmanship used to create it.

Another favorite memory is receiving my first custom. Finally I got to have my own version of a specific model as I've always loved to modify the things I own to give it more of a personal feel as you've put yourself and your ideas into its creation.

Being a member of this community is also a favorite. It's great to communicate and converse with many like-minded people and geek out over star wars and one of the coolest weapons ever to have been created.

Lastly an ongoing favorite is the feel of the saber. When I'm at home there is always at least one of them in range of sight if it's not already in my hands. One of my favorite things of all is the feel when you first reach out to it in the morning or after a bit of time sitting on display. The cold feel of the aluminum in your hands and the weight of it truly makes it feel like a weapon for a more civilized time.

Merry Christmas everyone. All the best to you and yours over the holidays and days to come.

Without a doubt, my favorite memory was giving my wife her first saber. Merry Christmas all.

Well my favorite memory would be getting my saber 3 weeks before they said I would but my most memorable memory would have to be wacking myself in the butt while practicing last night it still hurts lol

That would have to be my first SF order, which was the Mauler Staff (currently in production queue), and learning all about the buying "rules" - Etsy ordering process, communicating with SF, specifying and upgrading for options like 12W+, Quick Connect etc. I have never felt more "connected" to a Star Wars community as now with the sabers hobby, notwithstanding the new movie, learning about sabers via this Forum has brought the hobby to a new level.

Merry Christmas all! My favorite saber related memory actually happened today. When opening presents with my family, i found out that my parents ordered me an acolyte for Christmas! it will be my first saber of this quality (first saber besides the old flick out toys actually. sad i know) and in addition to that, I got saber training classes at a local fencing studio!

Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

Merry Christmas my SaberForge brethren!

I have had a lot of pretty memorable saber moments this year. Seeing my son receive his Epoch v2, then a few months later his weathered Bane. The ASP kickstarter, and when we took our sabers with us on vacation to San Diego, and took a few photos around the USS Midway. Funny thing about that was, it was a week after ComicCon, so I guess after that, folks seeing light sabers being swung around was nothing out of the ordinary.

I think though that the most memorable for me was unboxing my own saber, after dreaming about it for years. It was the one I always wanted, since the first time I saw Star Wars in 1977, and it was hard to contain the unbridled joy of finally owning one!

My favorite saber memory this year is the sabers from the new movie. Excited to see what they do in the next show.

Merry Christmas everyone!
My favourite saber related memory of this year was after a lightsaber figting show. After the show, a little boy, maybe 7-8 years old Came to one of the fighters, talking about how much he loved it. Then he had a Little lightsaber duel with him. Seeing that wie can make kids so happy with this is awesome every time!

MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL!! My favorite saber memory came exactly one month ago today when I received my Exile. I have been a SW fan for approx. 38 years and this is the first time I've purchased a lightsaber. All my others were imagination based(broomsticks,pvc pipe,etc.). They simply didn't make stuff this cool when I was a kid. So when I opened that toberlerone I was transported back to my childhood and the joyous feeling only children feel when they get that special new toy, puppy, or whatever they've been dreaming of. Thank you Saberforge for making this 44 year old kid's dream of having a lightsaber a reality.
