A few weeks ago I bought a new grab bag saber from Ultrasabers and, last week, I received my lightsaber. I got a Sentinel V4 LE in Guardian Blue. I have tried out this saber vs my old Aeon and I like it a lot better not just because it is newer but also for a few features that are in this saber and not my old one.

The features on the Sentinel that I found cool:
1. The handle is bigger then the Aeon which makes it easier to hold 2 handed for me.
2. the 2 choke points make great upper and lower grip points that can be switched mid battle.
3. the saber with blade inserted is about 1/2" longer then the Aeon which actually helps me with orbits since the center of balance has changed to be a little closer to the handle.
4. The pommel is very nice to work with and since it is MHS compatible, if I wanted to change it I can do so easily.(I have exchanged pommels with my best friend since the video to have a black accent which gives a nice effect.
5. The Ultraedge Heavy grade blade works really well with my Guardian Blue color compared to the silver color of my Aeon.

I have seen no flaws in the saber and enjoy that both my sabers have been flawless from what I can see. I have recommended Ultrasabers to all my friends after I got my first one and I still do. I cant wait to get a new saber in the future and hope to be able to get a collection going over time.

 Grin Grin Grin Overall rating: 9.5/10 (The battery pack slides around in the handle so there is a clunking sound when being used but you do get used to it after time)

Would it be ill advised to stick some foam, or any time of cushioning, in the hilt to prevent the battery pack from moving around so much? Might be something to try if someone doesn't like the rattling


Nice review, by the way!

Nice job, i always enjoy watching someone's own view of their new sabers.

Little point on the battery pack moving, a few people have  thrown options out for that, myself in my manticore after a few day sessions mine too moved here and there persoanlly, as a quick thought i went around 1 1/2 times  with standard  electrical tape on the speaker itself to essentially make the diameter a tad bigger

   Don't  go crazy or you'll fight to get it back out for a battery recharge  it made it a much more snug fit, and hasn't moved afterwards. so I have left it that way.

I ended up using a little electrical tape and taped the bottom of the battery pack to the pommel about a 2 weeks ago and it is working well. I have had no problem changing the batteries either. It doesn't turn easily initially when taking the pommel off but I have no trouble after that.
