Thanks for the positive review!
I worked long and hard to make this design feel "just right" in the hand. I'm pleased that's what stands out to you.
Blade length and balance are very much a personal preference thing. The saber was designed with 32-36" thin wall blades in mind.
I never saw you posted on here Rob, you are most welcome but really you deserve all the thanks. Between a fabulous saber build and fantastic customer service you have made a customer for life. That means I will be bugging you for a custom build lol... and I have 2 iedas that I hope one of them will peak your interest. Can not wait till April to email over to you.
One note I got a 32" blade finally and man is it perfect for me, so well balanced it almost feels like no blade is in there at all.
