I want to say first, the quality and construction were all 5 stars, same with the electronics, no complaints. The Archon handle itself however sliced my thumb on one of it's edges near the top with the loops. Those loops are SHARP and I didn't even notice I was cut until my handle had blood all over it. Which was also during the hight of the recent eclipse so it's definitely cursed now as well.

TL;DR Excellent quality components, but this handle bites

I’ve been eyeing the prospect of getting a custom lightsaber from saberforge for some time now. The archon hilt model really spoke to me and wound up being my hilt of choice for a Champion RGB saber. It arrived roughly in a 3 week time frame and was nothing short of impressive. I appreciated it being half charged so I could play with the settings right out of the box. A nice touch for the inner impatient kid!
The color is really something else. The prop blade included catches light in such a way that it almost looks real. Right off the screen, no photo editing. It’s beautifully done. The sound fonts are a joy too. I’ve settled on the “knighthood” set as a favorite. The motion sensors also work wonderfully and help bring the prop to life.
The other goodies and extra add-ons are worth it. The saber bag is a great, quality storage option and the belt clip is a godsend for my existing Jedi belt. If it’s within your budget I recommend it.
-The only thing I wish I would have known is the black button in the saber model photos on the product page are NOT the ones you receive if you select black or silver for the activation button. Those are separate led buttons that need ordered separately. Certainly not a dealbreaker for me but for anyone browsing through, be aware.

Ive gotten 3 sabers from saberforge this one's my favorite. I'll never buy anywhere else. I got it about a week ago I got the gold hilt finish with a red blade. My others are a blue and green so now I have the complete set. I had my first duel with it today. It felt great. Its a really nice hilt. The edges tend to cut your hands up but that's with all of the sabers so I recommend gloves. My other 2 sabers have experienced heavy dueling to the point where I've broken too many blades to count (the blades are durable I just put them through hell) the hilts themselves have never let me down. The shipping time for this one was way better than usual. That's my only complaint with saberforge is the ship times but this time it was just on the tail end of the estimate which was a refreshing change of pace. But the sabers are worth the wait. Especially this one. This hilt is beautiful especially in gold.

By far the coolest lightsaber I've ever seen. Extremely high quality (note I got the initiate version so I can't speak to any electronics). Got a weathered style with a black chrome powder coat and I couldn't be happier. Looking forward to wiring it all up.

This saber is wonderful and worth every penny. I got the hero pixel electronics, but it would still be wonderful as even an innate saber. I would give it six stars if I could. There is a reason it’s almost always out of stock😂
