Title: Review on my Dark Apprentice LE V4 :)
Post by: Darth Genji on January 09, 2017, 02:18:54 AM
Hey everyone I just want to do a small review on my "Dark Apprentice LE V4" that I got with Obsidian Premium Sound in V4 and in Tri-Consular Green! I received it on 12/30/16. I got it in my hands in about 4-5 days time! The shipping was fast just as expected. It was also my very first purchase from Ultrasabers at the time too as well. I must say that everything that I got in the hilt itself was everything I anticipated. I feel the sound detection is very on point every time I swing or sway it. The color is super bright especially in Tri-Cree. I had gotten a 32" in blade on it and ordered an extra 24" on the side for practicing my spinning/twirling more efficiently. The hilt itself is well machined and polished. It feels very light which is a huge plus on my end! The point of balance is perfect as well. I also got it with the Li-Ion battery setup with buckpuck and xvtar2 charger! I've only ever had to charge it one time so far as it lasted me about a week and a half since receiving it!

I can admit I'm definitely satisfied with the product and will definitely be making some purchases in the future! Thank you Emory and the rest of the staff at Ultrasabers for something so simplistic yet elegant!

Here are some pics of it!

That's a dope looking hilt.  Screams Sith but you got consular green.  I like the hybrid mix choice.

Pt to you for posting pics and sharing.

Enjoy the new hilt!

Thanks Kai-Yen! Haha I know I know I really wanted a green one as my first one from ultrasabers but I will definitely be getting another soon in Tri-Blazing Red haha. I had recently made a second purchase about 1-2 days ago and I got the "Apprentice LE V4" again w/ Obsidian Premium Sound V4 and in Tri-Fire Orange! :) I can't wait to receive it!

i like it
that fact that its green makes the concept of the pic scarier

you can say you took it from a jedi you killed or that its your old jedi saber before you turned to the dark side

Thanks Darth Blightus! Haha I know right!?! The pics came out really intense! Ah I like the little backstory options you have provided about the saber hehe I can only imagine the scenarios for it!

Most excellent review, pics and saber! I really love the mixing of dark hilts with light side colors. I did something similar with a Dark Prophecy and Tri-Cree Arctic Blue and I think it just works so well. I love the contrast, and the matching green illuminated silver AV switch is gorgeous with the black hilt in the background. I've never really given the green AV switches a chance, but this is a real eye opener for me. Makes me want to get a Dark Catalyst with Tri-Cree CG and a green AV switch like yours. -1 for the inspiring review! 😉

Thank you Lord Bladewraith !!! :) Yes I couldn't agree more I too love the light side colors on the dark hilts as well. Oooo that sounds really nice! I'm planning on doing a Dark Prophecy myself later on as one of my future purchases but I'll be doing that in the Tri-Cree Blazing Red which might end up becoming my main saber, but we'll see though as I acquire all the others I want as well. I would love to own every color they have to offer in Tri-Cree and also in Sound. Then later on pick up on stunts in the other colors. If you do end up getting that Dark Catalyst with the Tri-Cree CG and green av switch let me know! Thank you for the dark side points! I shall give you light side points back to you in return :)

Wow, awesome pics! The black hilt and green blade suit each other very well. I'm awaiting delivery of my Apprentice v4 sabers/staff and posts like these make me look forward to it even more  8)

Thank you Niels! I appreciate it! I agree the Tri-Cree Consular Green really compliments the dark hilt really well! I can't wait to see your Apprentice V4 in staff! Be sure to post some pics of it! Points to so you! And thank you again! :)

You got it, bro. Hopefully in time for the raffle  :)  I have the Tri-Cree Blazing Red with quick disconnects and it looks so great with the way it makes a full looking blade. Looks great with my Manticore CE and red AV switch.
