now for my written review of it
lets start off with the hilt: the heart of the saber:
likes, its small, sturdy, shiny, beautiful, spectaacular, ect.
complaints, no covertec, of course theres little space to fit it so i can see why there isnt one
The hilt is black anodized giving it a sith look, it has machined silver grooves that make the hilt look great and gives great grips, the two chokes are perfect for fighting with and are possibly the best part of the saber, the emmiter isn't mhs compatible which is no biggy but alot of people ask that question, personally i like the guarded switch better than the av switch on this saber because av switches look like status lights but there is no accessory button on this hilt so i would advise against av switches, but it is an oppinion after all. the pommel is threaded and mhs compatible so you can choose any pommel you want, i like the dark catalyst pommel on it, again, its an oppinion. all in all i give the hilt a 10/10. its durable while maintaining a simple, yet effective look and is my favorite design out of every saber building site to date.
next the blade: also a big reason people like ultrasabers
the blades are removable, polycarbonate, sturdy, tough, indestructable (maybe a little bit overboard
), you name it, the best part, they are empty, thats right, no leds in the blade at all, just polycarbonate and the magical ultrafilm. the light is even throughout because of the mirror on the blade tip and even though they are sturdy, they are cheap to replace, like under 50 dollars cheap, not 150 like parks or some other sabersmiths *cough* *cough* , being the best blades on the market hands down, being light and keeping the light even throughout, plus you get mid grade or heavy grade and ultra edge or normal, mid grade is like the pre-quels kinda, the light is bright and you can see a shiny shell around the light, this is my prefference. there is also ultra edge which by its name brings the light all the way to the edge, no silver shell around it, it has white film instead of clear, i think it makes it look very pastel but for each color it look better on a certain blade, like adegan silver looks terrible in ultra edge but looks amazing in mid grade, its different for each color and customer, the heavy grades are basically double the weight and double the thick walls, basically the heavy dueling blades, but you sacrifice some brightness, there is a heavy grade option for ultra edge and mid grade so everyone gets there prefference. the blades get a 10/10
finally the technology behing every lightsaber:
ultrasabers gives you alot of options for leds plus there are 4 "forum" colors that are still being tested, you can find out more about those throughout the forum. the wiring is amazing and simple, you get a choice of normal guarded button or av switch and afew more options on some other sabers. the battery packs are outstanding and imo i like standard setup more than li-ions ive had my 4 AAA's in for 2 days now and they havent dimmed or died yet and the li-ions my friend has have been charged 4 times since then, but li-ions are better in the long run i guess. the obsidian usb sound board is one of the best on the market, easily customizable and very versatile. the FoC affect is great and you get quite the variety of colors on that too. the one complaint i have is there is no in-hilt recharge option on any saber but that may come to be one day, i give the electronics department a 9/10, there are alot of option but they are missing afew that some other sabersmiths have.
customer service and business ethics,
im not goin in detail because i could go on forever, all you need to know is, 900000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/10
Overall 10/10
this was a review about my saber and ultrasabers in full, i have to say that they out-do themselves everytime they make a saber, they even reach out to there loyal customers on products like obsidian, they even made the consular saber ahead of schedule because everyone asked them to. what is a company without customers? a company without customers. they are also the lowest priced sabersmiths on the market and offer sound or no sound, why get a parks with no sound for 200 when ultrasabers are as low as $50, my friend, that is simply pocket cash. they make there sabers quick, within 2 hours of my order it was given to ups and on its way, the shipping prices are reasonable, even though that isnt really their choice, but they change all the time based on whats cheaper. the result of the saber, ENDLESS FUN............... GET OFF YOUR SORRY A** AND GET ONE sorry about my language, im passionate about thins i love.
