Title: New Sabers: Initiate, Initiate LE, Dark Initiate, & Dark Initiiate LE v3!!!
Post by: Deep on September 26, 2011, 04:32:32 PM
Ultrasabers is proud to present Initiate v3.  The new Initiate v3 is made from machined aluminum just like the v2 and this version is able to accommodate sound installs and has a MHS compatible pommel.  Yes, the Initiatecan now have SOUND!

This is a great saber for younglings and adults alike.  The two choke points on this hilt make it great for one hand and two handed combat.  This saber can be used as a main hand or off hand weapon.  The Initiate v3 comes standard with a 24" Initiate blade and the blade can be upgraded to 32" or 36".

The Initiate v2 is 1.25" wide and 9" long, while the Initiate v3 is 1.45" wide and 9.5" long.  So you get the same size and feel of an Initiate with some new great features.

Both Standard Setup and Li-Ion Setup work perfectly for an Initiate v3 with No Sound.  However, Li-Ion Setup is mandatory in order to add sound to the Initiate v3 (please keep this in mind when order folks, space is TIGHT in these sabers and Li-Ion setup is the only way for us to fit our sound setup)

FANTASTIC new sabers!  Getting some Initiate sized sabers with sound is such an amazing idea, you can count on me grabbing one of these!

When I first saw these new initiates I literally spent the past half-hour drooling over them.  ;D The creation of these V3's have resolved my current mental notes from the V2's and I'm definitely going to buy some after I move up to Colorado Springs.

DAMN YOU ULTRASABERS!

Just when i was planning to get my next Dark Initiate V2, you guys go and make a new model!  Now its gonna screw up my matching.  Ah well.  Whats nice about the V3 is that it is a bit longer so its is better for main-handing with a V2 in the off hand.

Those Choke Points are nice, but i wonder how that will feel in a spin.  i am just getting used to my V2 and its cylindrical shape is good, but having that groove might throw me off.

The sound and Li-ion setup is awesome too, although i consider myself a very non-sound guy.  All utility and no flash.  And it saves money!

Probably gonna wait for the LE versions, if theres gonna be any.

I must again compliment you guys on being the best. Just recently I saw all the talk of people wanting to put sound in the smaller stunt sabers, and here comes the V3's set and ready for sound. And I LOVE the new design! That double choke point just looks SICK! Bravo guys! You did it yet again!

How long do you think before the LEs come out?  I can wait to put this thing in my main hand.

Can't wait for a LE version to come out!  I can totally picture two Dark Initiates in Adegan Silver.  It would look awesome!

Damns! Just when I fell in love with the Archon these come out. And there lovely.  Now I don't know what to get. I want a saber staff bad and this will be a awesome way to go to have a saber staff with sound finally.   And not to be a buzz kill but hey wheres the manticore? ;p

I'm guessing the dominix and aeon v3 are in order? Amazing looking sabers by the way!  8)

Post by: grave13 on September 27, 2011, 01:26:37 AM
Nope! I will not sway my decision. I'm going to get the Archon v2. Ill make it into a saber staff later on if I want too.

You guys keep pushing the envelope for your customers. It's great to see. Especially since alot of us aren't DIYers, the fact that you keep coming out with duel-worthy sabers with great sound at a great price... It's a dream for us, plus making your most current parts MHS compatible is a blessing. The options keep getting better and better. You're really becoming my favorite saber-makers. Many Thanks.

These are perfect. I would love to have two dark initiate v3's in arctic blue with blue av switch. Ah I'm so excited!

Looks like I will getting one of these in the coming weeks!!!  :D I think I might stay with a white blade and Jammo might be willing to share his Lee filters with me.  I am definitely going to go with the medium length and the ultra heavy grade blade.  I really love the color that comes through with the Ultra Heavy Grade blade.

Just wondering if the Initiate V3 will come with a pommel vent so the batteries won't slide out. Like if you choose the sound option which I will be doing. I'm getting it with the normal vented pommel. To me it just looks like the pommel has a big hole in it and not a grill thing, like an MHS pommel would have. Thats my only concern. Other than that great saber guys. Hope to see a Dominix V3 with the same options in the future.


Title: Re: New Sabers: Initiate v3 & Dark Initiate v3
Post by: Vex on September 28, 2011, 09:24:31 PM
The vented pommel will hold the speaker/battery/sound board pack in place securely.  Ultra Sabers always puts great pride in their sabers construction  and would not have made a pommel that would alow the batterys to slide out. They really are all about quality and functionality ! I really look forward to owning a couple of the Dark Initiate V3s and will be getting the normal vented pommel with them. You also have the option to get several MHS pommels that they sell at a great price. Just look under that option on the checkout screen for the saber.

Dude black and gold would be epic.  I'm gonna get one of the Initiates in Sentinel Yellow, so the black and gold would go PERFECTLY with it.  I bet it'd be a pain to make though, you gotta anodize the black and gold separately...
