Amazing Saner. Thank you Nerf boi.

Oh shii- didn’t realize you did a video on this, thank you bro. Yours shipped yesterday, can’t wait to see what you do with it

"So this is a Canon hilt." "This hilt is canon? I've never seen it before." "Oh no, it's a non-canon, Canon hilt." "What?"

About to get my first CFX saber from Sabertrio, as a blind guy I appreciate the auditory reassurance of blade detect, but I can’t get your logic as well. Awesome video!

🔥Love the way this Hilt looks I worried I would miss out on it But finally got to pick one up can't wait to recieve it !

Love the design.Well done!Looks like a mixture of old rep. and after era.Combines both.I like that.Thank you!You inspired me to design and build a new hilt in my hobby room.😂My wife and my daughter won't see me for weeks!😊😅Nah,just joking.My Daughter is involved in every single design😁😉.Keep it up,bro!👍🤙

@NerfherderCustoms at 3:48 what ring is that I’m wanting to find one myself for my scrapflex just to complete it

Great working with you bro as always! ❤

Ooooh mines on its way to the UK 😬😬 so excited to receive it 🙌🏿 Fantastic hilt

Happy for you bro, it was an honor to be able to see this early on the trip! It’ll be a super cool run to see out there😁

Can't wait to get mine. Its such a cool design. Also that shirt is SOUPA.

Dude looks absolutely amazing! Way to go on the hilt.

When a vision becomes reality, that's gotta be a great feeling. Love it dude!

Pumped for mine. It was awesome seeing it on the trip. Really an awesome saner dude.

Love this so much!!

Love this hilt, that was all you man… I just drew a few lines from your hard work. Can’t wait to get mine, should be any day now

Mine landed in the states this morning!!!

Excellent saber. Thinking this one might make my tiny list of must haves.

I have looked everywhere and can't find how I set a default sound font, color, effect. Every time I boot the saber it goes back to font 1 and color of red with zero effect. Setting this up as a gift he wants OT flavor with a blue blade. Thank you!!!

Will there be an episode 2 of this?

A year later, I have to watch this for a laugh. Even though we aren't going to get one from this recent get together, I had to watch again and see good dudes having fun.

Just picked up the SE version he had on his site recently, super stoked to get it!

How long is the demo blade in this because this gives short sword vibes 🤘🤘🤘

Why am I only just seeing this????
