Title: Saber for a 6 year old Post by: PKKite on May 28, 2015, 03:14:14 AM Does this setup work for a 6 year old or is this type of hilt and blade considered too heavy?
Item Name: The Initiate LE v2 Item Price: $64.99 Options: Blade LED Color:Guardian Blue Blade Option:Ultraedge Blade Size:Initiate 24" Blade Blade Tip:Round Tip Include Retention Screw Wrench:No Thanks Include Blade Plug:No Thanks Include Saber Stand:No Thanks Include Covertec Clip:No Thanks Install Covertec Wheel:No Thanks Title: Re: Saber for a 6 year old Post by: Mastarius on May 28, 2015, 04:02:46 AM I'm not sure about the hilt but it is considered the one handed type so it'll be small.
As for the ultraedge I have a 36" ultraedge and it barely has any weight to it, so most of the weight should come from the hilt. It is made for younglings so it shouldn't have that much weight but you might want to check out reviews on youtube as well.

Small enough to share with younger friends and not too small for her yet. The regular UE blade will be great. It's not heavy and not too long. But still long enough for a grown up to have fun spinning.

Initiate v2 Initiate 24" Blade I don't have any yet but I am considering this setup for my two boys and my niece who are all in the 3-4 year old bracket currently. Others have advised in my recent thread on the subject that it should work fine for them.

Worry about more advanced options when the youngling matures. One thing I like about Initiate length blades is that even mid-grade thickness stays rigid at 24" but is still very light weight.

Title: Re: Saber for a 6 year old Post by: Zren Tobas on October 12, 2015, 02:54:01 AM Should be fine. I was actually considering the Apprentice V4 for your kid as well :P Then upgrade to a 32 inch blade as they get older and maybe stick with that blade size if they don't get too tall or if he/she prefers that blade size

Son=6, Daughters=8 and 9 when they got their sabers. The only thing that I didn't take into account at the time is that there is no room for upgrades on the V2's. When they get older, if they want sound in their sabers, they will have to purchase their own V3 or V4. I have really petite girls and the V2's fit their hands very well right now, but they are jealous that my sabers can change color and have sound. However, I'm sure someone has figured a way to put sound in a V2. |
