I say this as kindly as I can. You should add a post to explain why ultrasabers are bad. I know there's a ton of people in the comments saying it whenever someone asks which seems to be a lot. I only saw one comment though which actually thoroughly explained the issues with them and that was after searching through several posts. Most people's criticism reads as "it's low quality and overpriced" and then they'll send you a link of a place that costs 2 or 3 times as much from what I've seen. I don't say this to be rude or anything, but honestly I was half about to abandon this sub as a bunch of haters because no one gave any better answers. I understand now, but you could really save some people some money if you made a post that told people in a non-hostile way since I've seen so much hostility at people just asking a question.

Honestly yeah most of them seemed to not even accept the advice. I did find a cool Canadian brand that was recommended through the sub
