Great look with Poor Soundboard, no custom ability, and Fit and Finish Problems
I purchased a SaberForge Avenger MKII QuickShip saber. The Hilt looks and feels great but there is a small gap between the pommel and handle. With the hefty price tag I would expect better fit and finish. Additionally the First Harvest sound board and profiles leave a lot to be desired. I have $60 sabers with better volume, better sound effects and app connectivity. This saber doesn’t even turn off without a small plastic plug in the charge port. Again with the price tag I would expect saber forge to match or exceed competitors putting out a, frankly, better product electronically speaking. Sound profiles are distorted and choppy and over all the max volume is too low to hear when swinging the saber around. For the positives, the size and weight are great and the hilt is pristine. Can’t beat the look of the hilt, by far the best Obi Wan Episode 1 recreation I could find. I’m not sure how I feel about losing the RGB capability with a thread in blade and an LED built into the blade, but it does make the saber seem brighter and increases my confidence for usability. Overall the biggest complaint I have is they seem to be the only company not offering user customizability as when I asked, I was told I would have to spend what just shy of what I paid for the saber in the first place to have them upgrade the lack luster sound board and was informed the hilt isn’t designed for user tear down and rebuild. The are in the minority as far as companies on that front and it was disappointing to find out I wouldn’t be able to improve in the electronics myself.
