The Sins of the Father is our newest saber to feature our Collet Lock Blade System, the most rigid and secure blade retention system on the planet.  The Collet Lock Blade System requires no set screws and uses standard blades, it provides 360 degrees of clamping force on the blade resulting in far better blade retention than traditional blade sockets with set screws. The Sins of the Father has a polished chrome finish with brass and black accents. It features an activation box with a faux graflex clamp lever. The activation box has a magnetic control card that conceals the switches and recharge port (when needed). Below the graflex clamp style switch section are two greeblies, a cone thumb screw and square grub screw. The Sins of the Father features a D-ring attached to the pommel for clipping to your belt. An exclusive Sins of the Father chrome blade plug is included with every order.  Collet Lock Blade System: A collet is a machined metal sleeve with slits that compresses to securely hold a cylinder when two housings are threaded together, it was developed for high speed machining where retention of cylindrical metal bits under extremely high torque and speed is required. We took the tried and true concept of a machining collet and adapted it to work with polycarbonate blades. Simply unthread the emitter cap a few turns to loosen the collet, slide the blade into the blade holder, then thread the emitter cap down snugly to tighten the collet down onto the blade.  Due to the thin neck, these are designed for light to medium dueling only   Weight 1.6 lbs (0 g) Diameter 1.5 in (0 mm) Length 12 in (0 mm) Specifications Length 12 in Diameter 1.5 in Inner Diameter 1.125 in Weight 1.6 lbs Blade Socket Collet Lock Socket Size 1.01 in Socket Depth/Blade Plug Length 1 in Material CNC precision-machined aluminum
