With the introduction of our first plasma fighting saber back in 1999, we have been pouring our engineering talent into creating a true duelable blade system that is also as bright as a plasma-type blade: The results are the HyperBlade™ system! Our new blade system features a “brighter than plasma” scrolling light effect along with an extremely durable blade assembly. We have not compromised on the development – resulting in an ultra-bright light effect that can also undergo the rigors of play dueling!

Our blades feature ultra-bright LED technology in a HyperFlex™ engineered light assembly. This results in a 3-5x brighter blade than some of the other technologies, and in fact making it brighter than plasma for some colors. HyperBlade™ also features a DualCore™ protection system for maximum durability, allowing the saber to undergo spirited dueling without risk of damaging the blade!

HyperBlade™ also features never-before-seen functions in a saber blade, such as our novel ClashEffect™ light feature (which can be synchronized with our sound boards) and a proprietary CorePulse™ ambient light effect for creating real movie-like blade lighting.

The HyperBlade™ system also went through rigorous tests to quantify its durability during saber play. Check out our gallery for videos demonstrating the durability research phase of the HyperBlade™ system.
