Park Sabers Review: Double Helix (part 1 of 2)

First part of my review for my Parks Sabers "Double Helix" model. Great saber. So much more than just a toy; hard not to see it as a piece of artwork. Check out more at:

That belonged to Sith Lord Exar Kun and was actually the first known double bladed lightsaber. He used it to slay his Jedi Master.

@HoustonBro Not quite. You're actually not the first person to tell me that, but this isn't his. His hilt is a lit shorter, had more, smaller claws, and had a different grip. Do a google search and you'll see what I'm talking about. Thanks though!

i have watched both parts and really want this style. You sell it far better then the site does. My only question is how long did yours take to arrive?

[KarlBast]

@agamemnonahb Thanks for your kind words. When I make a review, I try to answer and questions or concerns that I had before I bought the saber that nobody else had answered yet.

Mine took somewhere around 3 and a half months to arrive, but that was over a year ago, and I hear that the wait has gotten longer since then.

@KarlBast is this good for dueling

@jonwmcgown It depends on your price range, and how long you're willing to wait. If you can afford it and don't mind the 2-6 month wait period, than I would recommend Parks. But Ultra Sabers has a lot of great hilts too. It's all about personal preference, and I don't want to favor one saber manufacturer over another.

@KarlBast Thanks for the quick response! would you recommend this over an ultrasaber? Sorry for all the questions.

Thanks!

@jonwmcgown When both blades are in the hilt, the blades do bend a little, yes. But there is no writing on them. That is on the very old Park Saber EL blades.

[jonwmcgown]

It looks to me like when both blades are in it, and you move it around, it looks as if the blades bend a little. Do they bend at all, or am i just seeing things? also, my friend has a park saber and his blade has writing on it. Does that one have writing on it?
