Last blade went out a week ago! I won't be cutting any more until September. In the meantime I'm looking at offering a light weight cast for cosplay or those that don't want a metal blade. A lot of people ask about the "amphenol" connector, the correct connector is made by Cannon. Amphenol is a completely different company. Here's an old advertisement showing the AN series connectors. The AN3106 model is what you want to search for. Happy hunting guys and a big thank you to those of you that got a blade. I hope you enjoy them!
