Top 13 Lightsaber Companies that I buy from in 2023!

Yes Vaderssabers! Highly recommended, I have 10 different sabers and never an issue and all are beautiful!

What a coincidence! I was literally trying to find out what the best options were to buy from yesterday. I don’t have enough to buy one just yet but I was looking into it for the near future

I just got the kyber relic model snv4 pro for my first saber, went in kind of blind with the last minute sales but from what I seen ima be happy with it I just hope it's made of metal and not bulky 3d printed plastic or something. I've seen so many reviews that have these ugly huge plastic looking handles

[@EnveezArchive]

@@SyIis after having mine Luke saber for over 10months I can say that SNV4 is prolly the best I ever bought it has literally all the sound fonts and everything you’re gonna love your saber so much I promise you

[@Error_404_Account_Deleted]

Imperial Workshop is my goto for Xeno. Ship super quick and really good stuff. Galaxy’s Edge sent me a broken saber then replaced it with the wrong one. Never again. CCSabers came with only the standard blades in Proffie. Several cool sound fonts but no matching blades. They told me to take a hike basically. Tony from Ronin Sabers got me squared away.

Replica Sabers: SP Sabers, Roman Props, KR Saber Armory, Jawa's Junkyard, Solo's Hold. Non-Replica Sabers: Sabertrio, Pachstore, Vader's Vault, Bendu Armory, Electrum Sabercrafts, Genesis Custom Sabers, Starfall Sabers, Ignition Saber Co. Just FYI, Korbanth by and large does not produce their own sabers. They mostly are a reseller for 89sabers, and occasionally will collaborate on runs with shadowfoil props. Also, Saberforge is close to 50% lgt/nexus at this point. Originally only their youngling line was LGT, but over the last 2 years they've replaced a lot of their apprentice and eco lines with LGT. The most reputable LGT/Nexus saber shops are Darkwolf Sabers, Vire Sabers, Padawan's Outpost (UK), Rebel Sabers, and AusSabers (Australia).

[@WWIIREBEL]

I ordered a "Tavros" thin neck saber w/ pixel blade and proffieV2 soundboard ,from DarkWolf Custom sabers. I HIGHLY recommend them. Great communication and super helpful where needed.

[@nitthegrit7544]

@@WWIIREBEL The owner of Darkwolf (Johnny Collado) is one of the few American resellers that's a full partner with Nexus, so his shop always has the best/biggest selection, and their customer service is on point. Johnny's an OG in the saber community.

[@johnromero3143]

You should try imperial workshops. They're lightsabers are really tough.

[@cptairwolf]

Why isn't Sabneo in the list? They've got the best price on a fully featured neopixel blade and it even comes with free shipping and a lifetime warranty

[@darkkingrikux]

What about the best sabers for actual dueling?

[@GandhiSwagger]

Ended up ordering a Saber from Saberforge, with the Golden Harvest pixel board. Super excited, getting it soon too!!! Do you have any experience with a saber like this?

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

I’m not the biggest fan of the GH board. But they are similar to the other top boards. You can modify sound fonts and effects. A lot of people like them though.

[@bertilthoruplindberg8198]

Good saber and company my G?

[@tonysilva7458]

Ownasaber has been good to me with quite a few sabers. Great quality and electronics!!

[@kalebstrayer1710]

Try imperial workshop, sabertheory, and the saber factory! I’ve always wanted to see what you think about those companies to see which one I would want to try for my first neopixel saber! 😎

[@seaofsalt3505]

I don't get this. I know ultrasbers isn't everyone's favorite, but considering how popular they are, not getting a mention seems odd to me. my ultrasabers experience has always been great. i've gotten responses within the day, if not the hour sometimes when i've had to reach out for customer service. they're great dueling sabers in my mind, and their blades are really durable considering how much i've put mine through over the years. perhaps they changed their practices recently or something. sure, their hilts are basic, but i don't really mind that when my focus is dueling and non-complex hilts help with grip and balance.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Maybe things have turned around with them. My experience with those sabers have not been great. Every time the saber has failed on me within a few months. My Disney park sabers hold up better. I think they are popular because they are the cheapest and they appear at many conventions. But after my last one, I’ll never buy from them again.

Would you say ArtSabers has improved their product quality and customer service this last year?

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

I’ve never had an issue with them. But I’m seeing several comments over the last few days stating otherwise. What was your experience with them?

[@DarthBaras13]

@@HyperdriveStarWars I haven't had any experience with them yet. I've spoke to a few people some of the lightsaber groups on Facebook and they say "avoid ArtSabers like the plague" which I'm more willing to listen to considering I'm hearing from actual people and not a review on KZbin. But I'm hoping ArtSabers is reliable because I really want the Darth Nihilus and Darth Malak hilts.

@@HyperdriveStarWars all right. I'll give it a shot. With your permission, may I reference you in the notes when I make my purchase? Maybe seeing that you vouch for their products will give them incentive to not mess up my order.

[@candymanrip]

Awesome list 😮😮 great video 👍 😎

[@brettlawlor8921]

Is Ultrasabers not a good option now? They seem to be discounting their sabers pretty heavily as of late.

[@FatherAbraham777]

I ordered a saber years ago with them and the electronics stopped working maybe a month after I had it. Took it apart and noticed that the sound board was fried. Also later noticed they used a really basic and cheap sound board. Which meant the soundboard I actually payed for was taped along side the other electronics doing nothing. I confirmed this by wiring it up and making it work again.

[@zach9036]

Ultrasabers has been running into a lot of quality issues the last few years and their customer service has dropped with it. The first and only saber I got from them came in weeks late and not working. Customer support was basically no help, they told me that I must have done something to break it because them getting delivered broken was "very rare". I will never buy another saber there again.

[@WWIIREBEL]

They are not a place I'd recommend. They have years of past bad customer service/support. products failed a lot of people. Their tech is sort of outdated (though they are catching up). They charge for "add-ons" ,like a proper switch or a cover-tech knob (items that should be a standard/included item, and not an added separate charge). Many of the "known/character hilts" are made sort of bulky/chunky , though they do have some non screen accurate, plainer looking or elaborate skinnier designs.

Have you done any light saber combat? (The saber legion, saber light knights) . I do competitive combat with light sabers ( with the above organizations). I am not a prop guy.

What have you dealt with?

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

@@BrooksVlad I haven’t used Mando Corps or Shabby sabers before. I’ve never heard of them. To be honest I’m more of a collector of sabers and I do some spinning and sword training for exercise and just to learn art. I’ve never done any combat.
