Welcome folks! I love it when someone's introductory post contains information about the orders they already made. Means you are all caught up with the rest of us!

Waiting for Cain an Abel: a Venom and an Epoch

Hey guys, the name's Joe. I've always been a huge Star Wars fan. I watched the original movies and later on the sequels. I also played a lot of Star Wars games like Battlefront and Kotor. Admittedly I was always into sparring, My brother and I used to spar with the poor man's dueling saber (AKA the wifflebat.) I liked the toy lightsabers but they are really crude and useless after a couple hard battles. But I still liked sparring and eventually that led me to Saberforge. After looking at all of the offerings I decided that Saberforge was the overall best and so my training began.

A couple ppl have been posting about their first purchase so I'll do mine. I recently chose to buy a 12 W Weathered Disciple Champion tier with a green blade and the crimson sabercore. I like the design, it's simple yet cool. I like how it has the wrap for grip, but also the grooved part for spinning which is something I do in choreographed fights a lot. The grip is especially useful. I try to emulate Juyo when I duel and that involves a lot of flashy maneuvering, fast strikes, etc. It's a great workout. Essentially, I chose it because it looks like a great starting saber, though I plan on moving up to a Sinister Prophecy Hero Tier after some time with the disciple. The V4 is perfect for that nice mesh of cosplay and dueling.

Just ordered it yesterday too which means 12-14 weeks or so before I take my first step towards mastery. And now the wait begins.....

Hi there!

My name is Maurice, I'm from the Netherlands and I've just ordered my first lightsaber from SF. For starters I appologize for grammer mistakes because English ain't my mother tongue. As 23 year old star wars fan I've always had the dream of having a lightsaber.

After doing some research my eyes immediately fell to the Gladius hilt. I just love the design. I've always like the Sith (Quote: Power, unlimited power!!), but after all I still like Jedi more. So I've picked the following design:
Gladius Warrior Edition
Hilt Finish Grey Weathered
Grip Wrap Color Brown Reptile
Belt Clasp None
Blade Color Deep Blue
Blade LED Power 12W
LED Quick Connects Quick Connects
Blade Type Staff 32 inch
Saber Stand None

I'm going to program and install a custom sound board from the custom saber shop.

Well can't wait till it gets across the ocean!

Welcome to our little corner of the saber world friends!

Slight change to my earlier post...I've now purchased a Monarch Hero Edition as well. I didn't realize initially that that was one of the crystal sabers that is combat rated. It's just too awesome to pass up. I guess I'm officially addicted to collecting sabers...

Greetings from Spain to all of you! Hopefully I'll be getting my first saber soon, and I'm pretty excited!

Felicidades por tu nuevo sable-laser Irovirosa! Bienvenido al grupo!

I'm Jedi71 aka Shawn from Massachusetts. Been in the Army for 21 years so far and still going.

I'm a SW fan since I was a kid but switched over to Trek which I love. Started playing SWTOR and got hooked on it. Now that the new movie is coming out in four weeks I'm excited to see it.

I saw videos on YouTube on building sabers so I plan on building myself my own saber in about a month but I plan to buy my first saber from SF next week. Then more than likely I'll get another two from SF.

Hope to make some saber friends here.
