New Saber: Ultrasabers Scorpion

[Zren Tobas]

AB is a cool color. One that I still need. Then VA then EG. Might get PO eventually.

AB will probably be my first color

I wouldn't mind AB on an Azure Reaper.

 ;DWell I took the saber plunge again I need to count the number I have now as I'm overdue a total
This one is the scorpion with emerald the first setting is DVA and of course had to have all the bells
And whistles on this one. I know I'll be happy with it as every saber I've gotten from Ultra never fails
To deliver

an amazing blade and im definently going to recommend it for people with a collection because it just looks amazing ... who wouldn't want one ... and using the guardian pommel was a good idea for it to give it that sinister look

I just got my Scorpion last night and my first impression is that I love this saber. I talked my buddy into getting a heavy grade saber of his own, when it arrives next week ill give the scorpion a good combat testing.
The scorpion is definently a big and powerful saber which suits me fine because im a pretty big guy standing over 6 ft 5" i could definenlty see this being to much saber for people of a smaller physique. A long blade is also a must in this saber, the emitter holds about 4 inches of the blade firmly in the hilt which i think will make the blade very sturdy in combat but like i said I havent given it a combat test yet, because of this though I would definently recommend a 36" blade minimum, 40" would be preferable.
The saber handles exceedingly well, the emitter is easily the most comfortable of any saber ive held it really allows you to grip safely close to the blade for great speed and control, also the hilt is so long and easily manipulated in your hands I cant see this being a saber that gets dropped easily.
Overall its a beatiful saber I got mine in classic guardian blue which looks amazing, the windows are awesome, the claw is pretty kool if your into them (im not a claw person and I had mine removed looks great either way) the black and silver accent each other so well in this saber, I really cant say anything negative im very happy with it.

So I was thinking of putting this hilt on a pike.... Thoughts? Also I personally think this could be a decent jedi or grey jedi weapon, not just dark sider.

Way too heavy I would say. The Scorpion is definitely a two-handed BEAST!

Probably right, well the free initiate will go nicely on a pike so my saber pike will still come to be. Going to purchase the scorpion tomorrow!!! pretty excited!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just got this saber not even an hour ago and it is AWESOME!!!!!!! I got it in AS color(which looks soooo good) also got the color disks so I can switch it up. So I would definitely say it is more of a dark side saber but put a light side color on it and I don't think anyone will try and argue its elegance!

After my first order from Ultrasabers last August with the Initiate V3 in Guardian Blue, I just couldn't wait anymore and had to order a second one with the Emerald Driver.
It took me quite a while though to decide which one, because they all look fantastic.

Hats off at this point to the guys at Ultrasabers for their fantastic work.

After bouncing forth and back between the Manticore and Scorpion, the reviews for the latter ultimately got my attention.
So, I placed an order for the Scorpion with the Emerald Driver on monday morning (GMT+1)  *_*

Although it's said to be more of a Sith saber given the sleek design and sinister look with aspects such as the spiked pommel, I defined the preconfigured color to be in Arctic Blue.

I'm curious though.
A couple of posts around here state that it's best for two handed combat.
I understand that because the hilt seems to be pretty big (not just by the numbers) compared to other sabers, but...has anyone tried to handle it with one hand and do a couple of spinning techniques?
Suppose it becomes tiring to spin around 2,5pounds, right?

PS: Call me crazy, but waiting for the mail delivery now feels a little like waiting for christmas.

For comparison here are two videos, one of me with my Archon and one with my Scorpion.  The difference in how I wield them is obvious.

Hi guys I just picked up a scorpion through DOTD program.  I am super excited about it.  I will show my friend about this saber and get them in to the sport as well.  I think sabering is better than playing video game.  Good for burning some calories  .  I hope my son will love it as much as I do too.  This way we can sparing tohether.

Just awesome... I'm waiting for mine to be shipped!

Gotta say saw a Crimson Scorpion at Comic Con this year and the saber didn't really seem that big in person. Is it just the pics like always? Lol. The Crimson looked awesome though.
