Hey guys! My first saber arrived last week, and I am proud to have created a review for it. Hope you enjoy!
Please be so kind to give feedback, since I have more sabers on the way, thus I will be doing more reviews soon!

Good review MathijsV and well done in going through all the options of your saber. Using tape on your saber blade is a good way to help prevent the screw tapping into the blade and blade plug. Good choice for the set up of your saber. Point.

That was one of the better reviews I have seen. You did an excellent job. You covered everything very nicely. I was not board at all. 👏

Thanks mate! So it would be a good approach for other Ultrasabers reviews?

Great job. I never had any interest in the Archon V2, now I do!

Excellent quality on the video - crystal clear! Your suggestion of putting tape on the blade is great advice for those new to buying sabers. I wish I had known that early on, but never too late to start now, eh?, so thanks for the tip. Very informative overview of the Obsidian V4 sound board, too, explaining the differences between the "themes" of each sound font. Many newcomers will find that very helpful, and it's a huge selling point especially when some may have thought that all lightsabers make the same sound. So glad we have differences like that. Makes them all even more unique. I have the Archon 2.1 myself, but the quality of your video did make it look very slick. Nicely done. +1 point incoming

Excellent review! Thanks for sharing that with us I feel the same about the recharge ports. I'd love to get them on a few sabers in particular so I can have them on all the time. But it looks SO much better without it. If only US had a way to install them in the base of the pommel instead of putting a hole in the hilt

I really appreciate it! Yes, the tape really helps to prevent the blade from damaging. You're welcome! Exactly, I think the Obsidian V4 is an absolute need on my sabers, just to give that nice touch!

Near the batteries, so it is covered by the pommel!

Ditto on that. I didn't put one on my Graflex nor will I be putting one on my Chosen One, when I get one eventually. I have one on my Electrum Wind and Guardian, something about the heftiness of those hilts made me want to add a recharge port to make recharging the batteries a simpler process, and they seem to "hold" the recharge port well without it detracting from the overall look.

How well is it hidden on the Guardian? That's one of the hilts that I'd love to have as an always on display saber. But I'm scared about having a dirty great big hole in the back of it

I don't bother with recharge ports on US. I'm always getting inside anyway playing with the ports. It just doesn't make any sense spending that much extra.
