SaberForge presenta actualizaciones clave en su línea de piezas Apprentice, incluidos el Emisor Apprentice Progeny, el Cuerpo de Interruptor Apprentice Centurion y el Pommel 15 para construcciones económicas.
SaberForge continues to expand its Apprentice parts line with fresh components designed for beginners and budget-conscious builders. The latest additions emphasize modularity, durability, and affordability, making it easier than ever to construct a fully functional combat saber without breaking the bank. Whether you're assembling your first hilt or upgrading an existing build, these new parts offer practical solutions for every stage of the journey.
This update focuses on three standout components: the Progeny Apprentice Emitter, the centurion-apprentice-switch-body-231245">Centurion Apprentice Switch-Body, and the 15 Pommel. Each piece brings unique features that enhance the overall building experience while maintaining the high quality SaberForge is known for. Let's explore what makes these parts essential for your next project.
Progeny Apprentice Emitter: Compact and Versatile
The Progeny Apprentice Emitter is a direct successor to the earlier Progeny designs, now optimized for the Apprentice platform. Its compact profile reduces overall hilt length without sacrificing blade retention or visual appeal. The emitter features a sleek, conical shape with three decorative grooves that accept standard M4 screws for secure blade locking. This makes it an excellent choice for duelists who prefer a shorter, more agile saber.
One of the key advantages of the Progeny Apprentice Emitter is its compatibility with a wide range of blade sizes. It fits 1-inch and 7/8-inch blades using the included adapters, offering flexibility for different combat styles. Additionally, the emitter's internal threading matches all Apprentice series bodies, allowing for easy swapping without complex modifications. For builders on a tight budget, this part delivers premium performance at a fraction of the cost of Elite-tier emitters.
Practical tip: When assembling your build, apply a small amount of thread-locker to the emitter screws to prevent loosening during intense sparring sessions.
- Compact design for agile hilts
- Compatible with 1" and 7/8" blades via adapters
- Standard M4 screw holes for secure blade retention
Centurion Apprentice Switch-Body: Ergonomic Control at a Low Price
The Centurion Apprentice Switch-Body represents a major ergonomic improvement over previous entry-level bodies. It integrates a recessed activation switch within a contoured grip section, allowing for comfortable thumb activation during prolonged use. The body is machined from 6061 aluminum and features a knurled texture on the lower half for enhanced grip, even in sweaty conditions.
This switch-body is designed to house standard 12mm momentary switches, which are widely available and easy to replace. The internal bore accommodates most soundboard and battery setups common in the Apprentice line, making wiring straightforward. Additionally, the Centurion Apprentice Switch-Body includes an integrated chassis mount for simpler electronics installation. For beginners, this reduces the learning curve significantly, while experienced builders will appreciate the clean integration.
Pairing this switch-body with the Progeny Apprentice Emitter creates a solid combination for a lightweight, balanced saber that handles well in combat. The two parts share the same threading and finish options, ensuring a seamless look.

- Recessed switch for comfortable thumb activation
- Integrated chassis mount simplifies electronics
15 Pommel: The Budget-Friendly Finishing Touch
A pommel might seem like a minor component, but it plays a crucial role in balance and aesthetics. The 15 Pommel is the newest addition to the Apprentice parts family, offering a clean, rounded profile with radial cooling slots and a lanyard loop. Weighing in at just 45 grams, it's lightweight enough to keep the hilt nimble while providing a solid counterweight for the blade.
What sets the 15 Pommel apart is its compatibility across multiple SaberForge series. It shares the same 1.5-inch internal threading as all Apprentice bodies, but it also fits many Elite-standard hilts with an adapter. This cross-compatibility makes it a versatile spare for builders who own sabers from different lines. The anodized finish is available in black, silver, and gunmetal, matching the current Apprentice color palette.
For a complete budget build, pairing the 15 Pommel with the Centurion Apprentice Switch-Body and Progeny Apprentice Emitter gives you a fully functional saber for under $200. This combination is ideal for new duelists attending their first tournament or collectors seeking a lightweight display piece.
- Lightweight 45g design with cooling slots
- Lanyard loop included for carrying convenience
