The hilt's aluminum alloy construction assures its strength and longevity.
Please note that this pommel is sold devoid of electronics and a blade.
Tom from TS Creations, our hilt specialist, has meticulously applied acid etching for a unique touch.
These hilts are normally available for immediate shipment, unless otherwise noted as pre-orders. In such cases, please allow up to four weeks for customization before your lightsaber is shipped.
Please be aware that all pre-orders are tailored to your specifications. Due to the unique processes of weathering, battle scarring, and acid etching, the hilt you receive may differ slightly from the images shown.
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.
