New Saber: Ultrasabers Scorpion

[Darth Logos]

You thought it was smaller than advertised? I nearly crapped myself when I finally saw mine. When I ordered, I thought it was going to be about the size of the Shock is. But then I also thought the Shock was smaller until I got one. Any more I just hope for a glimpse of Emory's hand in the videos to help me gauge the size of a saber. They need hand models.

Do you guys offer regular customer discounts?

That's a question better asked directly to Emory. Email him:

Given with the black shrouding over the main body and the claw making this more of a Sith-oriented weapon, has anyone inquired about this saber without the shrouding for more of a light-side feel? Or do people basically just shrug and point to the Guardian as the equivalent light-side saber?

I think doing the Arbiter/Dark Arbiter type contrasts would be awesome for the Scorpion.

Lord Canterbury was working on a Scorp SE. It looked pretty sharp. Without the claw, and perhaps a substituted Guardian pommel, it could look less sinister in appearance. I took off the claw on mine and subbed the emitter and pommel for a Flamberge emitter and Menace pommel, to help a friend decide if a Scorpion could be shrunk to 12" in length. The spikes and claw definitely lend to the Sith persona of this hilt.

So this beauty is definitely gonna be my eventual saber that I go all-out on: Emerald Driver, Obsidian sound board, the works.  People say that this thing screams Sith, and while that's certainly the case, one could argue that it'd make a very appealing Grey Jedi saber as well.  It's got a nice blend of both Dark and Light aesthetics.  Saw a review of this baby in Sunrider's Destiny, and it looks amazing.  Might go with that color myself.

Just know that this hilt is a bit beefier than the standard Ultrasaber.

Oh I'm well aware.  The specs say its 14.5 inches without the claw, and since I have a terrible sense of eyeballing, I pulled out a length of tape to get a sense of it.  It'll be big, for sure, but then again I have oven mitts for hands, so I shouldn't have too much trouble.  This baby's too pretty to pass up.

EDIT: I imagine you could save an inch or two, and several ounces by forgoing the standard-issue pommel for something shorter.  Might look into that when I get it.

He might have meant that it's not just long, but thicker than most, since it has an outer sleeve over the main hilt.

Yeah, I saw a review video that had someone take the outer sleeve off.  But like I said, I actually prefer wider, as my hands are quite large.  This little beauty isn't the kind you one-hand, anyway, from the review video I saw.  If I want a spinning saber, I'll grab a Catalyst.

I did. The shroud adds about an extra .125" to the body diameter. The emitter and the shroud section with the horizontal vents are also sizable chunks of metal. I would say it weighs roughly 30% more than the average MHS saber. Like the Archon or Shock models.

Despite the weight however, it is incredibly well balanced for both single and double handed grips.

When will this hilt be back in stock? I tried to order the crimson version with emerald driver

All in due time. The movie release coupled with Christmas has resulted in a buying spree like I've never seen hit Ultrasabers. If memory serves, it usually takes US anywhere from 4-6 weeks to regain stock of a saber. (BTW I like your tastes.) The website says 3-4 weeks for fabricating, which makes me wonder if they have had to resort to making each saber from scratch to meet order demands. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll just have to be patient *sigh* lol

You can do it. If the Sith know anything, it's patience. This saber was my first, and I had to wait almost a year before I could afford it. Sooooooooooooo worth the wait.
