Because it is made of an aluminum metal, the hilt is strong and will last a long time. The hilt is also made up of several separate parts that can be taken apart and put back together again to make the sabers unique.
Please remember that this is for an empty hilt—it does not come with a blade or any electronics.
Tom from TS Creations, who is an expert in hilts, has acid-etched the blade.
If it doesn't say "pre-order," it means it's ready to ship right away. It could take up to 4 weeks to customize your saber and send it out if the pre-order box shows up.
Every pre-order is made just for you. Because of the way acid etching and aging 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.
