      Well, it's a good thing I got a heavy blade from ultrasabers and let's just forget what the company says, as the customer, I believe my saber is duel worthy...my counter tops, bar stool legs and the corners of the walls would like to agree. I was literally trying to break my blade with blunt swings and did absolutely nothing to my blade.

    "duel-worthy" to me: "I can hit this against a metal pipe at full force at least once without it breaking/bending"

      The blade is made out of the same material as the lower reciever of a glock and the handle is the same aluminum that goes into aircraft's. Both are highly durable materials that can take a great amount of bearings. The only question is, how strong will the bond be between the handle and blade.

    There should be a grading system based on battles in the episodes. Like, "Episode IV" would be the lightest...then "Episode V" would be medium...then like "Episode III" would be the "I hate you and want to kill you" heavy use sabers grade.

      I disagree... because if someone wants, lets say, to buy a vader lightsaber from episofe 5 but with a higher grade, you wouldn't be able just because the vader blade was made only as a middle tear. You would then just cut your own wings by having a minimal offer of blades.

    I feel like the term "duel worthy" needs to be treated like an ESRB/PEGI self-regulation system, where each saber, hilt, blade, etc. has its own rating of something like
    - L (light contact, like one handed light handed swings with other blades)
    - M (medium contact, like two handed swings with other blades)
    - H (heavy contact, like full on duels like your life depends on it)
    - U (unreal contact, like swinging it at a tree or metal pipe without even a scratch)
    and then a small list of things you can or cannot do with it to elaborate.

      I got my stunt saber a little over twelve hours ago. For four hours straight, I was smacking it against hard surfaces around my house while the sabe was on, to not only test it but to hear how it sounds. With enough force to trigger a concussion, not even the counter tops had any damage on the blade, or the electronic equipment. This blade is made out of the same plastic that is on the lower reciever of glocks (also heard from a veteran that they use the same plastic to weave into kevlar) and the handle is made out of the same aluminum metal that they make aircrafts out of. My only fear was that the connection of the blade and the handle was not going to be a strong enough bond, but so far the blade has taken everything I have hit it against. I just need to try it against another saber, in which I'm getting my wife one in another two paychecks. If anyone else reads this really long message, I recommend these sabers if you are a starwars fan or if you just want to spar or duel. They are well worth the price.

    One of the things I appreciate from Ultrasabers if the description of their mid-grade vs heavy grade blade. At first, I was veering towards heavy grade because I wanted to be able to duel with my cousin a little but then I read that heavy grade was for full contact and even for fighting with wooden sticks I realized I didn't need to add the extra weight or lose out on brightness. I propose two terms "duel worthy" and "battle worthy", duel worthy is if it can within the average person having a 5-minute spar with their buddy at a get-together (what the average person wants), while "battle worthy" is for the people who participate in tournaments or otherwise full contact duels.

Hard play would be adults swinging playfully, light play would be children playing, decorative being don't hit anything with it.

      There actually are, mid grade blades are meant for light to medium dueling and heavy blades ( which can actually be used to duell against wooden bokken) are for heavy contact and speed dueling, you DO NOT want to duel with a heavy blade without protective equipment you will end up with bruises , black eyes, and possible throat injury.

Ex I'd call Force FX good for light play, something like the mid grade blades good for gard play. And only the premium blades from the likes of Saberforge UltraSabers etc to be the top of Duel worthy.

    Galaxy’s Edge lightsabers as in Savis Workshop and Legacy Lightsabers are kind of a middle ground between force fx and 3rd party. The blade wobbles some in order to prevent from force hitting the hilt. The only problem is the LEDs in the blades. But the blades are replaceable so they are “dual worthy” just not indestructible

Such as neo, pixel, or some other kind of full retrofit of the electronics and blade itself. Just for me, it comes down to if I am dueling I don’t want to be worried about my light saber twisting as I’m swinging it.

  • @TalesShack
    @TalesShack 4 года назад +1

    For me, a duel worthy lightsaber is any metal (or composite) hilt with a REMOVABLE blade. After that, it depends on your budget. I think sabers with an in-hilt LED that glows through an empty blade is the best because the blades are fairly cheap, but a savi's or legacy saber could be used to if you're ready to buy more blades to change it when a dead spot appears or when it just dies.
    In the end, as long as the blade is meant to be changed easily and the hilt can handle a good shock it's okay.

  • @Rose_Butterfly98

      ultrasabers is actually really good and pretty cheap which is surprising you should probally get the mystery box with ultra edge heavy grade lightsaber its 10 dollars more.and will cost 100 dollars but you will get 4 lightsabers (without sound btw it's about 230 with shipping for sound)

    As a rough guage of toughness maybe they should add a drop rating which is now quite standard in flashlights.e.g. i have 2 lights with a rating of 1.5m and 2m. So light use 0.5-1m med 1-3m heavy duelling 5+m etc

    Well, I can definitely say that the 31” Savi’s workshop blade is more duel worthy then the 37” Saberforge screw in “Full Contact” blade in my Redeemer MK3. I was doing some light to moderate dueling with my 11 year old daughter and the blade broke off at the hilt. No damage to the Savi’s blade at all.
    The Saberforge blade broke completely off and fell in the floor.
    I realize that this is a thin neck saber, but still. They have it rated for “full force” on there website. This is the Infinity bade, not the neopixel.

    I think the best ones for heavy dueling are the Sabertrio sabers: their stunt saber, and their FX sabers. (I have an Aeryn and a Skylar FX saber), presuming you select a heavy grade blade. In spite of what they say, I wouldn't take a chance dueling with a Neopixel saber. Sabertrio has excellent customer service, as well. Electrum sabers can be used for dueling as well, provided you get a thick-walled dueling blade. However, they are still ironing out some bugs in their latest soundboard (as I have experienced). But the array of features is incredible, considering the price. Their customer service is top-notch as well. However, if you want a Neopixel blade theirs is, as yet, not suitable for dueling. I would not do any dueling with any Neopixal saber. I think it's just too risky. Never duel with the Hasbro FX sabers or the Master Replica sabers. I have many of the old Master Replica sabers, but I would never duel with them, as they were not made for that. My advice, for what it's worth: for heavy dueling, I would choose either a stunt saber or a (modern) FX saber with a heavy grade dueling blade. (Some will say Ultrasabers, but I have no experience with them, so I can't say). I would never duel with any Pach Store sabers. I you read the fine print they say, "for medium or light dueling". In spite of what they say, I would not duel with ANY of their sabers. (I have three of their sabers.) I also think their top of the line sabers are way overpriced. If you are in doubt about whether any particular saber is heavy duel worthy, CALL THE COMPANY. Better to find out before you buy, so you're not surprised after you get it. Again, only my opinion. I you find some of you find this useful.

      There are too many types and I’m so much confused. I hope someone can help me, I’d really like to find Luke’s green lightsaber that is worth for (I think) heavy dueling because I want to play with my friends, and at the same time is enough bright. I also don’t have much money but I don’t need something with thousands of functions, I’m only interested in a sword that makes enough light, is worth for what I think is heavy dueling and makes the normal lightsaber sound. I hope you can help me to find something that seems like my description, also sorry for my English it isn’t my first language

      @@eeelio The Saber Sourcing link below looks pretty good. Here is another link to some RUclips reviews: ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=luke+heavy+dueling+lightsaber
      DISCLAIMER: I HAVE NO EXPERIENCE WITH ANY OF THE COMPANIES LISTED HERE, and cannot vouch for any of them.
      Personally, I would never duel with any Neopixel saber, no matter what any company says. Luke sabers (at least if you mean his saber from Return of the Jedi) are thin neck sabers and as such not recommended for dueling. Stunt sabers are the best for dueling, e.g., Sabertrio Arclytes, but they don't have the features you want. I have lots of sabers, but the only ones I would duel with are my old Sabertrio Aeryn and Skylar. These are very old, and the only features they have are flash-on-clash and color change. I put heavy grade blades in those, and those are fine for dueling. They don't make these any more. They make CFX and Proffie Neopixels, and stunt sabers. Stunt sabers have no sound effects. My two cents, for what it's worth.

    Ok, easiest breakdown.
    Baselit sabers I would consider it heavy dualing capable, even if you break the blade, it's like £20 to replace it, not much of a loss, as for neopixel and hasbro black series sabers, light to medium dualing only, due to the led strips in the blade.

      I've been studying/practicing swordsmanship for 17 years, me and my sparring partner use Saberforge and Ultrasabers products for stand-ins during live combat practice all the time instead of using our actual swords. Those sabers, with the Heavy-Grade blades, are very good weapons for practical self-defense. Just get them without sound if you intend to duel that hard. I've already gutted my expensive Saberforge hilts to remove the sound drivers I paid extra for, because they just can't keep up with your motions properly at that level of activity. Everything is a clash to the card.

    I duel with none of them. Only steel swords are for the real deal all the time.

Steel is the only thing that won't break and last a life time of heavy dueling. Let's not forget people, and I love star wars but light sabers are heated energy blades that cut through anything, except the mandalorian armor metal, and with that being said, it's fantasy guys , treat light sabers with care in the real world cause man they are a good workout and look amazing, don't destroy em they are beautiful props of a science fiction franchise, Star Wars😂 just have fun at the end of the day but treat the sabers for what they are, props that don't burn through anything.😆🔥👍
