This hilt is made from a strong aluminum metal, so it will last a long time. Its modular form makes it easy to change by adding different parts.
Please be aware that this offering only includes an empty hilt and no electronics or a blade. Tom from TS Creations, who is an expert in hilts, carefully acid-etched the blade.
If it's not marked as a pre-order, you can expect shipping right away. If you see the "pre-order" choice, your saber will be customized for up to four weeks before it is sent out.
It's important to remember that each pre-order is made by hand. Because of how weathering, fight scarring, and acid etching work, your hilt may look a little different from the pictures.
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.
