In this video, we're going to cover the top 7 lightsaber companies that you should know about in 2021, who you should buy from, who you should NOT buy from, and why.
If you’re thinking about buying a new or custom lightsaber and you’re not sure who to buy from, make sure to WATCH THIS VIDEO FIRST, because there are some VERY IMPORTANT THINGS things you need to know, and some very bad companies you need to STAY AWAY from!
This video is part of a series of videos designed to help Star Wars fans build their very first lightsabers. If you’ve ever wanted to build your own lightsaber but then tried Googling it, saw ALL the work involved, and decided “uhh, maybe next year”, then subscribe to this channel, check out the rest of my lightsaber-building videos in this playlist right here, and consider becoming a Patron of my lightsaber academy tier for the really in-depth lightsaber building videos.
A LOT of research went into this list of top lightsaber companies, which ended up being Ultrasabers, Saberforge, Vader's Vault, The Pach Store, Genesis Custom Sabers, Korbanth, and Sabertrio.

I've heard very good things about Crimson Dawn. Mainly: fast shipping times, affordable sabers with great sound cards, good customer service, and mystery boxes. I ordered my first 2 fancy sabers from there and I'm going to ty to disassemble their parts (most of their sabers are modular) and recombine the sabers together to make a nice looking extra long hilt.

My experience was amazing, I got mine custom ordered, shipped in 6 days, my friend had 0 problems with customer service. The quality is exactly how I hoped it would be, the thing just doesn’t break even if I tried. I know my experience isn’t everyone’s experience, but I feel like the company deserves a little more credit then “don’t ever buy-ultrasaber bad”

One was handled well by their staff via email and the other was a warranty repair they did same day at a convention where they were set up. They are durable and the sound-less stunt sabers have long battery life, which is important to me because we Cosplay for hours at a time.

I have 2 sabers from Electrum Sabercrafts. Relatively cheap (got both of mine with customization and accessories for about 800), can make changes on the fly via a phone app, and their sabers look pretty spiffy. They're fairly bright and loud, they can withstand some serious punishment, and they come with a lot of features that most companies would charge extra for (recharge port, covertec wheel, customizable colors and soundfonts, etc). My biggest problem is that during duels, one of the sabers lost its pommel a couple times, but it's easy enough to screw back on and didn't have any damage to it. Another minor complaint is that the weathering effect on one of my sabers wore off a bit after some sweaty-handed dueling. They're light, thin, and can take a beating, but their store doesn't have alot of variety. If you've never had a saber, Electrum Sabercrafts isn't a bad place to start, as their cheaper sabers are less than 300 bucks. I'm honestly really surprised they're not on this list.

COMMENT BELOW! Have you ever purchased a lightsaber from one of the companies mentioned in the video? What was your experience like? Who would you recommend and why? Word of mouth is SUPER important in this industry as some companies may pay their customers for reviews, delete negative reviews, and spend fortunes on advertising. So PLEASE TELL US what your experience was like!! ✌🏻 DISCLAIMER: That being said, apart from the screenshots and images I put up that show reviews from indeed.com, or bbb.org, or Reddit, etc., these are just my opinions. I know I’m saying to never buy anything from Ultrasabers, but of course there will always be exceptions and you should do whatever you want. I’ve actually purchased just a blade from them in the past (before I found out about all of their negative criticism and reviews) and everything went smoothly. I only mean to pass along information I’ve received from the internet so you can make a more informed buying decision. There are plenty of happy ultrasabers and saberforge customers, so just use your best judgement when your shopping for your next lightsaber or related accessory ✌🏻 ✌🏻 ✌🏻

It's going to be difficult for VV to reach the level of recognition of other brands simply because VV doesn't offer a true "entry level" saber. Their base-level stuff is on par in both price and feature set as the top-end hilts of other brands, and VV's top-end stuff is museum quality.

I recently got a lightsaber from “Rebel Sabers” they’re a smaller company with 4 different tiers of sabers, ranging from very basic starting out hilts, to neopixel replicas Their customer service is amazing and I received my lightsaber about 5 days after ordering. I can’t speak about the neopixels because I did not buy one, but I was very impressed with the RGB blade I bought, it was in the third tier and was about $170 after tax. I have no problems with it given the price and I am very happy with it as it is my first saber. If you want a reasonably priced saber with a lot of features then I would recommend them, since they are a smaller company their customer service is amazing and all sabers have a 1 year warranty.

Yeah, Ultrasabers hilts themselves are decent if barebones and a little clunky, but the company's gone VERY downhill in the last couple years in terms of their practices, it's kind of a shame.

I've gotten multiple sabers from Ultrasabers and the delivery on a couple were pretty good, but really bad on others. I didn't know that they were so disliked, but I was getting the vibe since I still haven't gotten a saber I ordered last august (It went out of stock right before I ordered) Now I'm looking for better options that are still somewhat cheap for cosplay, thanks for the pointers

I bought 2 hilts so far from Saberforge, and the one I like the most is their Anakin saber from AOTC. Unfortunately the quality isn't so great, so i'm going to need to do some maintenance on it, but I had planned on doing so anyway. It needs new grips, new or properly fitted greeblies by the emitter, and it just needs a little work. I may also upgrade the electronics in it as well, if I can i'd love to make it a neopixel saber, as it's already a crystal saber and I can't really fight with it. I also might put in a personal crystal that I choose for the display :) Edit: one thing I like about KORBANTH, is that you can pay in installments! That's a HUUUUGE benefit because that means you can buy everything individually and put it together yourself over time. I think that's a really good deal.

Oh, something to note with Vader's Vault sabers, even if you don't get Bluetooth, you don't have to take the SD card out of the saber. There's a USB port on the board that's easy to access once you unscrew the lower half of the hilt like you normally do to access the battery.

This was a good video. One thing I would like to point out is at the very end with the Bluetooth explanation Several things. Wiring in a bluetooth modual is 4 wires, Takes about 10 minutes from getting the wires ready to wiring them into the board. Placement of the Bluetooth modual of course does require a bit more engineering. Possibly a new chassis. So it's not like it is an easy upgrade of there's no room. But if there is already an upgrade being purchased, and the chassis is available, then wiring in 4 wires isn't that big of a deal. I'm not dissing the option to get one. It's great to get one and it's good they make the offer as an upgrade. My main point of commenting was the over dramatizing of the adding a new sound font. Granted you do have to remove the micro usb card. But their sabers are designed to where you can access the card fairly easily and changing a font isn't all that it's made out to be in this video. It is easier with Bluetooth though 🤔 Lastly though, one thing to always consider is smaller Sabersmiths Not necessarily myself, just smith's that are artists and make sabers from start to finish by hand will definitely appeal to a niche group of people out there that want something that another 100, or 1000 people also have. One of a kind hilts definitely holds value to certain people. Good video nonetheless. Enjoyed the energy and informative. MTFBWY

I got a lightsaber from Crimson Dawn, my friend had one and we dueled, the saber was perfectly fine. I got the basic electronics in it, but it still suprised me with how many features had. The hilt I bought was $140 and it is really well balanced. I highly recomend anyone who wants a high quality lightsaber for a relatively low price, I would go for Crimson Dawn. Also it shipped in a week

I own 3 Saberforge, 1 Sabertrio, 1 Vaders Vault, & have owned several Ultrasabers. Saberforge is my favorite & personally I haven't had any issues beyond extreme wait times. And I have beat the crap out of them in full gear contact sparring (Golden Harvest V3 soundboards too) My Sabertrio & Vaders Vault are both neopixel & just for playing with, and the only way I was able to get them was on their "ready to ship" sales. As most of us I started with stunt sabers from Ultrasabers & have had friends with their Obsisian soundboards & I can say they are the absolute worst designed & built sabers EVER! I hope one day I can afford a saber from Genesis Custom Sabers 🥰
@ShawnMichaels232 2 жыл бұрын
If I buy from Ultrasabers, I only buy stunt sabers. There are so many better soundboards and led setups from other companies out there that if I just want something to mess around with that looks halfway decent, I’ll buy from them. But I really want to find a good solid lightsaber from someone that not only looks fantastic but can take a beating too.
@elmstreetsurvivor1866 2 жыл бұрын
The only reason I buy from Ultra Sabers is to take advantage of the fact that their parts are MHS compatible. If I wanted something TCSS doesn't offer as far as hilt sections, they are a good choice.

I was planning on getting an ultrasaber for Christmas for a while, but I've ended up on getting one from Kybers. Can't wait Update: This saber is amazing! It has soany features for a price significantly lower than what you would pay for a worse hilt with only 1 color, and no sound at ultrasabers. I'm working on adding to it and possibly switching the LED for a brighter one. Highly recommend, especially as a blank slate to work on
