Strong and long-lasting, the hilt is composed of aluminum alloy. In order to customize the sabers with different parts, the hilt can be broken into several portions.
Note that there are no electronics or blades included; this is only for the empty hilt.
Our hilt specialist Tom from TS Creations has acid etched the hilt.
Ready to ship immediately, unless it indicates that it is a pre-order. It may take up to 4 weeks to customize your saber and ship it if a pre-order box shows.
Note that every pre-order is created upon request. Owing to the effects of acid etching, weathering, and battle scarring, your hilt may appear somewhat different from the photos.
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.
