REV-N™ Elite

Ordered my saber on December 24th and got it on March 31st. First thing I love it, I cannot put it down, it's amazing. The craftsmanship is amazing, the sound is amazing, and the design is amazing. I ordered mine with the Havoc pommel and black wrap on and it looks amazing. If you're thinking about getting this saber or any other sabers from Vader's Vault, do it. You won't regret it. The wait time wasn't long at all, it actually came earlier than thought. Again I love it. Thanks Vader's Vault. I'm going to Vader's Vault for all my saber needs.

I got two of these one red and one purple. I just got the purple and still waiting on the red, and I must say, totally worth the wait. This saber outshines competition and it is great fun.
The fact thee is its own soundfont, that made it even better for me. can't believe that a saber based on my favorite character can be so amazing in all aspects.

I ordered the Rev-N Elite in RGB, with chocolate brown leather wrap and gold accents and button, back in May 2016. It arrived in December.

A week short of seven month's wait. I have to say, the time flew by, it feels like I ordered it yesterday tbh. I know to many it will be a long wait. It is worth every second.

Unwrapping it from the packing made me catch my breath. I was instantly struck by how beautiful it was, and the shine of the light on the surface (even in standard finish it is gorgeous). The next thing that hit me was how light it was, how comfortably it fitted in my hand. It felt like it was barely there at all! I've had some nice sabers before, but this was lighter than my uninstalled graflex or uninstalled KR Hero, even with the blade in. Once I put the blade in, it felt like an extension of me. No weight, perfect balance.

My hands and wrists aren't strong, my previous duelling hilt had a tendency to get uncomfortable after a short while, and spins and slashes felt heavy and deliberate. I felt like I was overreaching a lot, and overcorrecting to try and keep it balanced. Not so with this saber. This feels fast, responsive, precise, and I can spin and swing without any strain or tiredness in my wrist at all. My old stunt feels ungainly and cumbersome by comparison.

The colours are vibrant. I didn't love all of them, but it's easy to tweak the settings of the ones you don't like. For instance I found the yellow a little pale and the green a little less vibrant than I preferred, but after a few minor adjustments they became two of my favourites.

Magenta is astounding. I cannot emphasise this enough. It is one of the brightest of the colours, and it feels special somehow; we're used to blues, greens and reds, but there's something striking about magenta. It also fits with the Rev-N theme too. If you can't choose between colours, go RGB. If you're looking for a colour that's a little more unique than the common reds, green and blues, the TORange, cyan and magenta are divine. Classic girl going with the pink saber :P

The Rev-N font is amazing. It's a perfect fit for the hilt. It sounds very different to the other fonts, there's a sort of high-pitched hum that sounds like a howl. When I was young my bedroom window could never quite fully close, and during storms when the wind really got going it rushed through the tiny gap and made this high-pitched, hissing wailing sound. That hum in the sound font reminds me of the wind back then. This font sounds violent, aggressive, unstable, and frightening; it sounds like a weapon. All the fonts are excellent, but the Rev-N one feels special to me in a way the others don't.

Sound is very loud, very clear, and very responsive.

All in all, I am 100% happy with it. Customs taxes charged me £116 (UK buyer), no doubt Brexit helped raise that a bit. That's the Government's fault, not VV's, and my wallet wept. But it was totally worth it, hands down. To me, the saber is worth more than what I paid, to get something like this from another sabersmith would have cost much more than it did.

It looks beautiful, graceful, and refined. It sounds vicious and deadly. It feels poised, precise, balanced; it feels like a weapon that was made to fit my hand. Ben Kenobi referred to a lightsaber as an "elegant weapon". I can't think of a better description.

Stellar service and customer support from VV as expected, wonderful people with a true artistic gift for this craft.

This saber is a work of art.

Wow! This is insanely cool. I love this saber. Perfect dueler and great shelf queen. The employees and owners of this business, truly give a damn.... And it shows in their exceptional results. My RevN is my baby, Thank you VV
