Ardent Elite

Details Customer Reviews Shipping & Returns Video

The Ardent Elite™, a fresh take and Vader's Vault spin on traditional design themes. Our first true "Thin Neck" Combat Class saber, we took extra care that while giving the look, balance and feel of the thin neck, we didn't sacrifice the duel worthy durability of the Combat Class. Meant for the active saberist, this saber is balanced and comfortable, melding with the wielder's hands like it was meant for them since birth. Offered with your choice of emitter crown and neck accent colors, as well as black powdercoated accents on the body sections and pommel. The emitter is packed with detail, from the elegant rounded rings at the crown, to the 4 sets of light emitting 'gill slits' in the center. The engraved detail around the switch area offers an asymmetrical catch for the eye. Just enough to give the area some contrast. The other side offers the chance to add extra flair with an optional SMD LED bargraph or OLED screen, and different frame metals as well. The middle v-grooved grip provides a non-slip surface in a traditional fashion. The rear, vertically milled 'booster' section offers an off-set look to the v-grooved grip. The pommel stands out as a very familiar power cell design with raised cubes, but in a non obtrusive, unique placement, complete with wide sound vents for great volume and resonance control. This entire saber screams elegance, and power. Get yours today!

This saber is very well made and sturdy. the powdercoating is expertly done, and the electronics are very responsive. the speaker is very loud, and very clear. it is also well balanced. The thin neck on this saber is very solid, and well suited for dueling.
Worth every single day of the wait!

Quite simply the best Saber experience I've had... ever. The communication and customer service from the VV team is better than anyone out there that I've dealt with.

The hilt itself... just beautiful. High quality that you can see AND feel. The size is perfect, the weight is just right, the design is sleek and elegant and the functionality is easy!

Trust in Vader's Vault. You can't go wrong. The wait is so worth it!
