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!

I bought an ultrasabers saber and a vaders vault saber. The ultrasabers arrived months before the vaders vault did, but the vaders vault absolutely beats out in all aspects of quality and aesthetics. Absolutely worth the wait.
Ardent Elite by Vaders Vault exceeded all expectations

I researched saber smiths for months before deciding on Vaders Vault. A little more expensive but honestly speaking, I could not find a negative review or issue that came close to competitors. The internal construction is what was the final sell for me. You tube has great comparisons from real and honest saber collectors.
The Ardent Elite saber I purchased was flawless. I added a few options such as grenade handle and black coating. The upgrade RGB is well worth the costs. It is an absolutely beautiful hilt that is well constructed and fits perfectly in your hand.
I will definitely be investing in a few more sabers in the future. NICE JOB! Well worth the wait. It was exactly like I envisioned it.
I also wanted to thank you for getting it shipped Christmas Eve. The few weeks early was a pleasant surprise. The saber was a centerpiece for conversation! It sells itself.
Amazing!

My saber arrived yesterday, and I couldn't be more pleased. The whole build just oozes quality, the hilt is great to hold and surprisingly light. It's every bit what I hoped for and more.

Wait time was as advertised, despite some custom changes I requested to make my saber unique and more to my liking, and the finished saber is worth evet day of waiting. M

I ordered in Feb so I was one of the lucky ones to get the new soundboard which was a much appreciated from my end. The sound and blade colour are excellent (i went with the RGB upgrade).

Ordered to the UK which was no problem, just be aware that customs can take their sweet time. But orders are tracked so you can keep upto date with where its at.

Thanks Vaders Vault, I love my saber.
