- Premium (For any character hilts that have special designs or additional parts to the hilt, including switchboard housing units, hilt sections that have deep channels or grooves or hilts with any parts that increase the workload on weathering)
If you are unsure which category your saber comes under then please do contact us and we will be happy to help.

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 reamining 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.
We do have more information and pictures available on our weathering here

For the light weathering that I ordered, it was - in my opinion - too much.
It was blotchy and somtimes very dark - completely black spots on parts of the surface.
I would have guessed for some light stains on parts of the surface and darker areas in the grooves with some lighter colours othe than stark black.
(I might be a little spoiled, for i have painted and seen a lot of Warhammer 40k miniatures)
And the weathering colour is not very durable. It comes of with little effort and some steel wool. In my case that was an advantage, for i have reduced it to my liking.
Sincerely
Sven

Bought the Kanan Jarrus with light weathering and it looks amazing, in fact the whole thing is amazing. I was nervous to order it with weathering but I'm so glad I did. I have 3 others and this is the first with weathering job and I'll definitely do it again. Thank you once again ES sabers.

The weathering is just perfect it gives the hilt that perfect wear of use over a long time.
lightsaber-weathering was tastefully done, gave a beautiful "lived in" aesthetic without effecting the core design
