Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can answer this question!

I'm planning on picking up a Custom Monarch (been communicating with Justin at SF and have worked everything out to my exact liking, I highly recommend his services from what I've seen so far) but am a little unsure where SF stands when it comes to warrantying for contact dueling. I know that dueling with other crystal reveal sabers like the Prodigal Son is completely out of the question, but since the Monarch isn't exactly a 'reveal' saber and still has a fair bit of support from the back of the crystal chamber, would dueling be okay or is it still a big no-no?

The FAQ section of the SaberForge website mentions that dueling is not covered for the CR Prodigal Son, Redeemer and Exhalted, but doesn't mention the other Crystal sabers.

I'm not a heavy dueler and plan to take darn good care of my sabers, so even if it's not covered by warranty but is still technically okay, that would be fine too.

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

A Mod can answer this better but you essentially have a full year warranty which includes dueling unless otherwise specified in the faq.

Phillip's Monarch Video

Phillip released a video in March of 2014 and at 1:45 in the video timeline he states "This is a Starkiller style hilt that you can actually duel with, although it's not going to be warrantied for dueling because if you take a direct hit on a crystal chamber you could easily break those components."

Personally, I would be fine with it for choreography and close ups for video projects, but I wouldn't use it in freestyle dueling. Like Phillip says, if you break the components of the crystal chamber from dueling with it, you would need to pay for the repairs.

If anything else went awry beyond that, I think SF would honor the warranty.
Last Edit: 7 months 1 day ago by 308BJP.

I see a design like the 'Monarch' to be a real showpiece of any collection. It's certainly on my wishlist for the new year, maybe in purple. Would I duel with it? No. I plan on a couple of consulars for me and my better half for that.
But please post pics on here of Justin's mods and customising! Seriously drooling over the prospect of a pristine Monarch on my mantle.

It's warrantied for blade-on-blade dueling. If you duel with it and the hit the crystal chamber, that's blade-on-hilt... not covered.
