I was fortunate enough to win this saber, as I received a silver ticket during the April 2025 promotional event. Even though I offered to pay for the proffie upgrade, the crew at Theory Sabers (looking at you, Nick) gave me the upgrade FOR FREE. While that certainly biases my opinion of the sabers themselves, I would buy them for full price in a heartbeat.
These are my first proffies and you can tell the sound and lighting difference between this and an SNV4 (which i would still absolutely recommend to not break the bank; my Prodigal Son is an SNV4). Even with just the 32" blades, the Shadow Hunter feels like you're welding Maul's iconic weapon. It is perfectly balanced and the utility of being able to turn it into two sabers means you're always ready to spark up a duel with friends.
