Vader's Vault Sabers

Drazhar () · Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 2:33 am Post subject: Vader's Vault Sabers

I noticed that after checking the 17 pages or whatever of threads, I didn't see them mentioned, not even in the big show off your lightsaber thread

Anyone have any experience/knowledge of their work? It looks like they do a good job.

I'm just hoping for opinions.

Unfortunately fx-sabers.com forums is currently down again or you could see first hand a ton of great things about Fender and Allaera. They do some very amazing work and have a great track record of very happy customers. The do anything from simple stunts to very detailed custom work including machining of parts/shrouds you name it. You can't go wrong with them and I back that up 110%.

fx-sabers.com forums seems to be uh... malware laden atm, avast is blocking it for a dang good reason at least.

I've been talking with Fender and Allaera and have agreed to pay their prices for my own custom saber because well... I can't machine anything, my wrists aren't strong enough to lathe things properly either.

Anyone else?

Also, are claws around your emitter acceptable?

I'm having a saber crafted based on the Phoenix of mythos, my favorite animal and something with great meaning to me.

Blade will be orange though, hope this won't DQ me from the legion.

I also back Vaders Vault all the way. They fixed my saber numerous times and made it the wonderful piece it is today. You will not be disappointed with them.

Yup... I've held their masterpieces in person... and their stuff is AWESOME...

Their OSPP (their purple color) blade is SOOOOO nice.

I've had the pleasure to do 2 commissioned One Sheets and Cross Section Plaques for 2 different clients... one of which I was the one taking the pictures of it...

They are one of THE best sabersmiths in the community. I can't wait to see your saber. Smile

I want a pure orange, actual orange, not orange red, not orange yellow... my favorite color in the world.. kinda like a medium sunset area?

If they can manage that that's my goal.

If not then it'd probably end up lighter I suppose.

I've told them what I'm after which includes the Crystal Focus 5.0

I won't be able to fully pay off the saber for... 6 months I guess...

fixed income, but it's what I want, so I'll do it.

CFV5...

Did you score one in that mini 20 batch run last week, or are you hoping to score one in future runs?

The blade color should be nice... I'm sure that they can pull that off Smile

I own two Vader's Vault sabers, and I can say without reservation that you won't be disappointed! Quality work!

I think they color your looking for is an amber bin 6. Its the color ultrasabers refers to as fire orange. Its about as close as it gets to a true orange and its definitely not red or yellow. I really like the color as well and have a couple of my lightsabers with it.

Both of them are led ladders vs a core led. I haven't see vader's vault use any type of ladder in their sabers, but I'm sure they would accomodate. Though if memory serves me the CF cards aren't setup to be used with led ladders. I can't check back on that since fx-sabers is still down, but you could email erv to ask him about it. I would definitely recommend Makotosai if you go down that route as in my opinion his blades are much brighter and are much more affordable. He sells his own sound boards as well.
