The hilt is made of a tough aluminum alloy and is made to be sturdy and long-lasting.
Please note that this hilt is being sold without a blade or any electronics.
To improve its aesthetic appeal, our hilt specialist Tom from TS Creations applied exquisite acid etching.
In most cases, unless specified as pre-orders, these hilts are available for shipping right away. Please allow up to 4 weeks for customisation if the item is marked as a pre-order before it is shipped.
Please be aware that every pre-order is tailored to your preferences. Your hilt may differ somewhat from the examples given due to the unique processes of weathering, battle scarring, and acid 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.
