I recently discovered this amazing company run by fellow nerds when I brought up how much I love Star Wars and would love to own a high quality aluminum hilt light saber on my online broadcast AbiliTV. I knew of the cheap toys - I turned two into light fixtures over the years and gave them away to viewers.
Mikaela who had won a light saber from Kyber Cave told me about this amazing company. Went online and fell in love with the Dark Saber Proffie- saving for it, and some other stuff. I got to see and hold the Talon saber Mikaela won at a fundraiser about a week later. OK the quality was far better than I even amagined. I wasn't able to power it on at the fundraiser, nor did I see the blade. Just the hilt.
Top quality finish. Excellent machining of the hilt's details. I was sold.
I quickly subscribed and followed all social media accounts. I am so glad I did.
Until they reach 1000 subscribers they are giving away a different light saber for ever 50 subscribers. The winner must contact them, and cover shipping. Well worth it.
They produce many awesome live broadcasts on YouTube Live. The one you will want is SABER RATTLE It airs 7PM PST on Sunday. 10PM EST aka Indiana time.
I would select the bell to alert you so you can enter. Subscribe then tune in - even if you can't stay you can watch the VOD later to see who won.
To enter you must type something into the chat. Example: Hi everyone.
That is it. A program is used to cycle through all viewers who commented in that particular show.
It really is an honest giveaway. I would know - I WON A LIGHT SABER!
It is called the SEEKER found in the Conventional Saber collection retails for $98 plus shipping.
Here is my friend Mikaela sharing her thoughts on my reaction to receiving my light saber.
This goes to my Facebook wall.

I recorded the entire unboxing and initial reaction to the Seeker.
Incase you don't like links - Here is my experience:
Gets box open, sees butcher paper removes it. Sees the light saber box and takes it out. It did sadly get some shipping damage. Nothing world ending.
The box has a canvas like texture to it. Is made of heavy sturdy cardboard. The top lifts straight up and off the bottom inner box half.
The inside has that nice squishy charcoal foam. Not styrofoam.
And in all its magnificent glory is the hilt.
I pick it out of the foam safety zone. No damage to it at all.
Since I didn't get to power on Mikaela's Talon saber hilt I was startled when it powered on and said LOW VOLUME.
I am already gushing over the beautiful red color of the hilt. Now I start yelling I THINK IT JUST TALKED! So was not expecting that at all.
As I realize this saber is smarter than me. I am moving it around. I instantly notice even pretty slow movements get a sound that matches. Of course when you swing it faster you get the familiar whoosh saber sound. The sound is so clear and movie accurate. I am just gushing over every detail as I hold it.
So just as a heads up - I don't typically fan boy over anything. Well until now.
I set the saber down and unwrap the polycarbonate blade. Holy cow this feels so much nicer than any toy light saber i ever owned.
The blade is nice and thick so it can withstand saber battles. I mean full on heavy hitting saber battles. Unlike the flimsy plastic used on most toy level sabers this is like a steel blade compared to those.
Inside the blade is a plastic material like mylar. It let's light travel up the blade further and allows for a more even balance of light. You can still tell the light is from the hilt, but not so easily.
The blade can be fully installed to the emitter ring and when you want or need to remove it you can unscrew the ring leaving it still attached to the bottom of the blade. The ring takes 2 screws included with 2 or 3 extra and an hex wrench.
Single button controls all functions.
Directions are on a beautiful full color card stock pamphlet. Easy to read with glasses for me. And a work of art itself worthy of framing. So rare when directions are this beautiful and actually helpful. Easy to follow and understand.
Mind you the owner of Kyber Cave is watching along and when I mentioned typically only high end top quality products are designed to allow the customer full access when and if needed.
He says - go ahead unscrew the sections of the hilt.
The end cap over the speaker comes off.
The section you hold comes off to reveal the battery and main board. The emitter ring comes off.
The inside of the hilt tubing is also fully anodized. No detail is missed.
If you own or buy other conventional sabers you can mix and match parts to make one of a kind hilts.
I highly recommend this company.
