GuardGirl94 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I am considering getting a sabre. I am stuck on King as the brand, but I don't know if I should get the genuine king, ($190), or the synthetic King ($105). This is my first year of guard, but I know that I will be in it for the long run. I have a little experiance on a school-owned sabre. My director recomended a Genuine King ($190), but my dad doesn't want to pay that much for something that he thinks will break, or need to be replaced in two years. Please give me your recomendations, they are greatly appretiated. Thanks!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classicslv Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Spend the money for the genuine King. They will replace it "if" it breaks. It is worth the investment in the longrun.

Jeremy Denzer Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I have had my genuine King for over 7 years and spin it almost daily. It has never shown any signs of breaking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwtrguard05 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Same here and it was well worth the investment!. Beside, the "Genuine" has a different look than the "Synthetic" King. Since you all ready check with your director and he recommended the "Genuine", then they must be what the rest of the sabre line is spinning! Equipment should look cohesive from member to member!

MiniSopGuy Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Go for the genuine hilt. Tell your dad not to worry about it having to be replaced in only 2 years....not gonna happen with the King. The King sabre will probably outlast your colorguard career.
