Droped my Manticore CE

[Kwalker179]

Simply put, I was spinning my Manticore and it fell out of my hand an hit a nearby glass table. Now it has a little dent on the emitter and on my pommel. I have a regular sentinel that had a few dents too and I used the low grit sandpaper, finished off with 0000 steel wool and brasso method. While the dents did come out, the overall hilt does looks very lackluster. I love the nickle plating on my manticore so Id rather not do the same to it. Is there anyway I can get rid of the dents while keeping it looking mint or should I just live with them?

I'm very much not an expert, but I'd say just go with it or get it custom weathered, it'll make it look cooler

Well, you could always get a new pommel and emitter for it.

im sorry to hear about your saber. perhaps you can contact ultrasabers and see if they can repair it.
or you can do what ogplebian said and get it weasthered.
just curious
hows the glass table?

A weapon is only as good as it's master ... meaning those scars are a personal touch to your lightsaber so they should stay. A used weapon will LOOK used so it's ok

I guess ill live with em lol. I hadnt plan on dueling with this saber. More for showing off.

[Kuristufa]

You could just give it to me lol. Just kidding.
I have a manticore in nickel plating as well so I know how you feel. It's a beautiful lightsaber. I think weathered up a little would be great

LOL I was so mad I didnt even bother checking the table. I looked at my saber like I dropped a newborn baby.

Your focus on the present is outstanding, Master Kwalker
I would also recommend to escape ahead and get it weathered. I'm sure Drahcir could make you forget this fiasco.

Good news is that you dented replaceable parts.  Bad news is that they still aren't cheap replaceable parts!

I'd say live with it--accept them as part of the normal use of the saber.  I don't generally go for the "weathered" look, but neither do I think a hilt should look like it was made yesterday.  (Even if you were the galaxy's greatest master of "form zero" and never had to use your saber, it'd still get a little wear just from being carried.)  If nothing else, it'll be a constant reminder to be careful when and where you're practicing spinning!

[Kwalker179]

Thanks for the input guys. If anything I realized that its no big deal and now im going to duel with this bad boy when my friends come lol.

How bad is the dent?

Its not even big 2 little dents the size of a pen head but they are deep enough that I would have to sand to remove them. After looking at it tho im actually starting to like it.

I know the feeling,  my nephew dropped my DSI 3 times while dueling on the concrete driveway and left 3 small ding/scratches on the pommel and at first I wanted to replace it but decided to keep the battle damage.
