Got mine as well. It's beautiful, man! I just have to wire up my Nano v3 sound board tomorrow and I'll post pics here and on the 2.0 thread. Thanks, ARKM!!!

So a couple of months ago I made this "instructional" video on how to properly insert a blade plug into a saber. While it is informative, it's made as a joke (no dirty humor... though I was tempted). I hope some of you find it entertaining.

Mine arrived today, and it's perfect!! Could not be happier. Thanks a bunch!

I'm definitely interested in one from option #2... in black/aluminum.

Picked mine up from my uncle's house today and it fits wonderfully. I just need to trim down the blade retention screws and I will finally have a finished display piece! Absolutely worth the wait and every penny.

Got mine today. Looks great, fits perfect with the stock screw I got with it.

UPDATE 6/27/2016:

Hi all.

The metal rings that were not anodized have been turned down on the lathe, sanded, buffed (again), polished (again) and sent to the anodizer (again, lol). They arrived at the anodizer today so it will be a week or two before I get them back. As such, I am now taking orders again. I will call this the "2nd wave". Why? Because it sounds neat.

I had some of you on a new interest list in a text file on my 'puter and you have been added to the list in the first post in this thread.

That said, feel free to order at any time. Please keep in mind that since the rings are now at the anodizer, if you have the newer version of the graflex 2.0, it will be 1 to 2 weeks before I can assemble your blade plug and then ship it.

NOTE: There are two different versions of the Graflex 2.0 as described in this post...

The new rings for my Graflex 2.0 Razor blade plugs will fit properly in either version but the old rings only fit in the older version. I still have several of the older rings already anodized and ready to go that need to be used up. That said, when you place your order, please let me know if you have the older or newer version of the Graflex 2.0. Those that have that older version will get their blade plugs faster as I already have rings for them ready to go (well, until they get all used up that is).

Thank you all for your interest in my blade plugs and the kind words regarding them. I really appreciate it.

ARKM/Tom.

Hi memberseven. Thank you for your interest in my blade plugs.

UPDATE: July 8th, 2016

The rings are back from the anodizer, some blade plugs have been made with them and I shipped out all the Option 2'ers today. Thank you all for your patience. The list has been updated to show who's blade plugs have been shipped and tracking numbers have been given. More will be shipping next week. Thanks again,

ARKM/Tom.

mine arrived today - great work!! quick question - what is considered the proper depth to have these installed? at first i had it installed flush with the black inner core, then i thought it did not show off the plug enough, so now i have it about 1/4 in above the black inner core. any thoughts? thanks!

Thanks.

I designed the blade plugs to sit flush with the top of the blade holder or if you prefer, flush with lowest part of the inner bevel (which is probably the best look) Technically the blade plug should not be long enough to sit more than 1/8" higher than flush and still have the blade retention screw hit it.

Bump.

Still have some left for both the older and newer versions of the Graflex 2.0.

Just sent PP for Graflex Razor Blade plug with polished brass bulb contact pin.

I have the most recent version of the Korbanth Graflex 2.0.

EDIT: I forgot to say which type, I think? I guess I'll take the Brass on Black, which seems to be the most popular.

Thanks!

I got your payment. Thanks.

Hi! You've got mail! I just ordered a Graflex 2.0 from Korbanth. I'll go with the brass on black, too. Are they still available?

 

[ARKM]

I still have some left. Thanks. I'll reply to your email that you sent me with further details.

 

[ForceSensitvAL]

I still have some left. Thanks.

Any 7/8 brass-on-black plugs left?
