Hello everyone! Today I will be reviewing two of my new Ultrasabers. The Dark Initiate LE v3 and Initiate LE v2.
Overall I have to say I am very impressed in the quality and overall performance of the sabers. I was somewhat skeptical at first whether I should go through with the purchase, but soon decided to go for it. Truthfully I started by ordering a Consular w/ sound and all the other fun stuff, but soon after it shipped I began to have second thoughts on what I wanted for my first saber. For the price that I paid I decided to return it (Ultrasabers customer support was phenomenal) and used the credit to by two additional sabers a yari extension w/ coupler and 16" blade as well.
Below is the video review of the two sabers:

First up is the Dark Initiate LE v3:
Overall the hilt is perfect for single or dual handed wielding and has a great weight to it. The way my hand sits on the hilt make it slightly difficult to spin the saber to fluently, but because of the way the saber looks I tend to use it more with two hands and do less saber tricks with it.
I decided to go with "Blazing Red" for the color because I felt it would go really well with the design of the hilt, and it does! Holding this saber just tends to give you a very "Sith-esq" attitude and fighting persona.
Second is the Initiate LE v2:
Originally I thought this would be my least favorite of the two, but when I turned it on I essentially fell in love as the say. They hilt itself is very comfortable to hold almost anywhere and is really easy to spin and wield fluently. This has not only become my main use saber but also the one I do all the tricks with.
I went with "Fire Orange" for the color because I felt it would complement the Red more in a dual wield scenario, but as soon as I turned it on I realized it looked much more yellow then orange. This was not a bad thing, yellow is my favorite lightsaber color because its the color of Jedi Sentinels and they are the best.
I went with mid-grade blades for both of them because I wasn't planning on doing any super heavy dueling and so far with a few friends and some fairly heavy dueling, they have held up surprisingly well.
Overall I am more that happy with my Ultrasabers and will be coming back in the future for more. Now its time to further learn the ways of the lightsaber.
Thanks for taking the time to read and watch! Hope you enjoyed.
