Our hilt, which is made of aluminum alloy, is strong and long-lasting.
Please be advised that this hilt is being sold empty, without the blade or any electronics.
To improve its beauty, our hilt specialist Tom from TS Creations skillfully applied acid etching.
Unless otherwise noted, these hilts are often available for rapid shipment. Please allow up to 4 weeks for customisation if your product is marked as a pre-order before it is shipped.
It's important to note that every pre-order is created based on your unique requests. Your hilt may appear somewhat different from the examples shown because of the distinct characteristics 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.
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.
