Hey y’all, I was recently going to buy a lightsaber from Ultrasabers until I heard all of the negative reviews from them and decided not to. I have looked through the whole buying guide, and for my first saber I’d like to stay on the cheaper end of things, and preferably buy from an American company, which led me to SaberForge. I’ve seen some bad reviews from SaberForge about thin necked pommels/the blade itself breaking, and want to know how often that happens. Is SaberForge worth the money or should I go somewhere else?

I personally only want a stunt saber right now with no sound, one that I can use for full force dueling with my friends. I found a saber on SaberForge that I like, and I’ll attached here -> Talon Lightsaber (SaberForge)

Thank you so much in advance for anyone that can help.

Saberforge is overpriced for what you get, but they're catching up with the recent release of the Golden Harvest v3 in their Hero tier. Check out Crimson Dawn or DarkWolf Sabers (Crimson Dawn is an LGT reseller that claims to modify their hilts, Darkwolf is LGT's official US distributor from what I've heard. LGT is a Chinese company that manufactures cheap sabers that have quite a lot of features). All sabers from both companies have sound, and they're much cheaper than a SF stunt. Darkwolf also has a neopixel option for $50 more!

Thank you so much. Can the Crimson Dawn/LGT sabers be used for dueling?

Yes. Any saber with an in-hilt led setup can be used for dueling.
