It looks like polished aluminum in the images. But it hasn't been explicitly stated, which is why I wanted to know whether the kit will include a chrome plated pommel (it's my preference).

My bet is on polished aluminum too, but I'd like a chrome plated pommel as well.

I'll wait for a response for now, but I'll keep it in mind.

The pommel for both FX and Static will be 7075 aluminum. That is what Bryan and I found to be the most accurate on this belt hanger specifically.
The image below is a MoM gen 1 prototype (matte clearcoated) all from 7075. Which has Dark spotting in the metal, this is similar to how the pommel is on the 373 prop.

Hi guys, the goal post was May the 4th, but we are still awaiting the first sample for finish approvals so unfortunately we’ll be going past.
We have received some photos of the machining in progress (which is looking good) and the box sample - so far thats all I can offer at the moment. Id like to share more & better photos once we have them. (Currently they indicate good progress for us - but aren't superb for show-and-tell here while the parts are all mid-processing.)

will the retention screws be hidden?

No, the blade retention screw will be visible on the FX
Our machinist sent over some new photos- again potato quality so I would rather wait to share.
The photos are of sample finishes, they should be forwarding them to RoninSabers for inspection approval by end next week. Everything is looking really good but we’re always prepared to advocate for adjustments (if need be).
I think the polished pommel camp will be happy with the current finish on the 7075

Update: I received the sample and have gone through the hilt thoroughly. Overall Bryan and I are very pleased with it, but there are some small adjustments that will be made (mainly the surface finish on the grenade and booster) Mechanically everything is sound, the adjustable clocking, sound venting, and plunger system turned out wonderful. I was even able to test fit my eco chassis. (See video attached below). I appreciate the patience this far, it will definitely be worth the wait. Hopefully this will get you guys excited!

The hilt does hold a blade, we have designed the blade plug to hide the blade holder seam so that when it doesn't have a blade in it is seamless.

Yup! I'll have an eco chassis and a simple crystal chamber chassis available for those who are interested in having theirs installed.
