We can weather/battle scar/etch your saber if you would like to send it in.
Please choose an option from the list, such as the design or location, to accomplish this. Please add each location or design to the cart if you would like to add more than one.
For instance, choose this and add it to your shop if you want the emitter etching to be in a particular style. Add this to your cart as well if you would like a switch housing engraved in a different design.
Please go to checkout if you are certain that you have chosen the right items and have them all in your cart. A shipping fee will be charged to you in order to cover the expense of returning your saber.
After that, you would have to pay for shipping your sword to our address:
Sabers ES
22 Ramsden Court Unit
Industrial Estate Rotherwas
Heredity
HR2 Sixth
United Kingdom
Depending on our workload, etching jobs can take anywhere from two to four weeks to complete. We promise to return your sword as soon as the work is finished.
Please be aware that any customized sabers, such as those with weathering, battle scarred, or etching, cannot be returned.
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.
