First off, this saber is great for your money. Its solid and its pretty. Every black detail you see in the photos are actually etched or milled into the hilt. They aren’t just painted on.
This saber not only looks great but it feels great too. Those black details I mentioned earlier make gripping this saber a joy and its solid too. You can just feel the quality. I would’ve thought you’d have to pay much more than $165 for a saber like this. Its just a great value. The blade is also holding up to some sparring so far as well.
Now, thats not to say there aren’t any flaws to be found with this saber. There is one that while minor does annoy me from time to time. Its the buttons. They aren’t flush to the hilt so you may find yourself accidentally triggering the large button when changing your grip or spinning the saber. Its not so bad when the saber is ignited because it just plays the blaster deflection effect but when its off, it changes the sound font on you. And when you’re trying to be be quiet and get a little practice in without having the blade on, the switch can be startling and annoying. Because once you switch the sound font you have to cycle through them all to get back to your chosen wound set, all the while having it blast sounds like KENNNNOOOOOBBBBIIIIII! at a rather obnoxious volume.
Having said all that, I’d absolutely recommend this saber to anyone who has a smidgen of taste. Oh, and did I mention it seems to be VHC compatible, which means you can buy parts made for LGT Sabers to further customize this one (just pay attention to which parts are threaded male and female and pick up some timing shims while you’re at it to line it all up). That’s a pretty awesome bonus if you ask me.
I’d also be remiss not to mention how great ccsabers was at getting this to me from hong kong. It only took six days from ordering to arriving at my door in the states.
