If you would like your saber to have a weathered, battle-scarred, or engraved appearance, we can help. Here are the available customization options:
- Light: One battle scar is added to the pommel, handle, or emitter of the weapon.
-Two battle wounds are added to the pommel/handle, pommel/emitter, or handle/emitter of the weapon.
- Heavy: Three battle scars, one on the pommel, one on the handle, and one on the emitter, will be added.
For mild and medium options, the scarring position is randomized unless you contact us to specify your preferences.
Proceed to checkout if you are confident that you have selected the correct option. You will also be responsible for the return shipping costs for your customized lightsaber.

Please note that weathering and scarring can add up to two weeks to the production schedule. We will promptly return your saber once the customization work has been completed.
Remember that we do not offer refunds on any customized sabers, regardless of whether they have weathering, battle scars, or etching.
Weathering, Etching and Battle Scarring
We have the option for your sabers to be weathered, etched or battle scarred.
For the weathering, this means that we take your hilt and make it look like it has had long exposure to the atmosphere, giving it a worn, run down look and a battle used kind of look.
With etching we add a stencil in the design you choose to protect your hilt and then use acid to remove the remaining metal giving a 3D textured pattern on your saber.
Battle scarring requires us to make cuts and gouges to your hilt to make it look like it has been used in combat and been hit by another saber.
Each process requires us to either sand parts of the hilt, add marks, scratches, dents or other battle like scars or by adding paints or chemicals to adjust the look of feel of the hilt.
This is very labour intensive and can extend the lead time and increase the cost of the saber. It can take up to 2 weeks to get your saber customised - this is on top of the normal 2 week production time for the parts, core and assembly of everything.
