So I just got a V2 blank (thanks Russ.) and I noticed a few things. Wondering if there was any concensus.
I've seen several russrep and Saberfreak sabers, both using the same blueprint (Howard?) I believe. There seems to have been some back and forth as to the particular details, a sort of evolution. Two things strike me in particular:
1. Some versions have a narrow groove on the skinny neck portion closest to the grip, similar to the one on the upper neck portion. I think I might see this in the pictures, but...
2. The other is a groove right above the base of the pommel, underneath the cubes. I try and try to see this in the pictures, but for the life of my all I can see is a line of slightly different color...
What are the experts' takes on this?
(Btw, I love my blank--I think it's my new favorite saber, and I haven't even got it painted.)
