In terms of product, landing a 4 for its sleek, well designed, balanced mashup taking elements between the Fallen Order and Graflex. Feels sturdy, and robust, with a hilt grip that bites. It’s machined well, threading is on point. Although emitter bunny ears have to be adjusted since the screw holding the internal ring prevents the blade plug from being inserted.
Unfortunately however, docking a star because I received the white accent version of this hilt rather than the black accent version shown in the photos. 89sabers offers the two variants; however nowhere on Saberbay does it indicate which version you’re actually purchasing, therefore I simply relied on the photos. Though I’m still satisfied with the purchase, I really preferred the black accent version, but did not want to hassle with the return exchange process. Understood though that Saberbay is operated by a single individual, so much respect for that, and chalk this up as an honest mistake. All in all, satisfied.
