Dark Ardent™

Details Customer Reviews Shipping & Returns Video

The Dark Ardent™, 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. This version is the darker and more shadowy of a traditional saber, with a cloak of smooth flat black powdercoating on most of the surface. Key areas were machined back off to give a chef's kiss of contrast. 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 of the switch area 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!

One of the immediate differences between this saber saber and another I have from Ultrasabers is its slim handle and light weight. It feels "elegant" in the hand. The flash-on-clash is bright and noticeable even in daylight, and the sound is loud and clear. Great workmanship and tooling!
I'm in love!

For being the first of many sabers, I'm starting off well. I was kinda scared about the neck to be honest when I started swing it around, but in the end I was scared for my blade from hitting everything in my house lol. It's soooo nice, and I recommend buying it. It's fun to use, and looks so, so, so good.
Best Saber Ever

I bought this as a birthday and Christmas present, and boy did Vader's Vault deliver. Unbelievable quality and craftsmanship. I am beyond please with my very first saber. Guaranteed this will be the first of many purchases from Vader's Vault. Absolute stunning work.

My first saber I ever bought was a saberforge venomous fury. I must say this thing puts it to shame the size and craftsmanship is outstanding and Im so happy with it. I recenlty took it to the star wars movie premier and everyone was blow away by how much brighter and loud mine was over their ultrasabers and FX sabers. I love how I can put 6 different sound fonts on it and change the colors with the RGB upgrade. RGB was well worth the 100$. I would and will recommned Vadersvault to anyone I know that is interested in buying a top quality saber.
