Okay, I'm curious... what, exactly, did she do? It looks good... like, really good. If I had tried that, I'd have stressed over each and every little nick, scratch, and dent, bemoaning the loss of brand-new-slick-and-shiny-and-perfect-ness with each added bit of character.
I don't understand how
a) you not only allowed, but ENCOURAGED this to happen (because I still have new-car-itis with my 2007 vehicle- it's a fault I have), or
b) it looks RIGHT and COOL and actually ATTRACTIVE now that all that shiny new perfection is long gone.
How did you manage to freely let go of the initial beauty, and how does it look so good now?
Granted this was my first saber that was crafted by some else, so I let her go to town, sure she dragged it behind her bike on our gavel driveway, twirled it like a baton.
how did i let go i needed my saber to look like it went through hell to fit the lore I created for my saber so yes been through some stuff
for me fresh clean shiny is for say my granddaughter its literally her first saber and never seen a battle a war or lost in rumble of an old temple for eons which my saber lore has been that's how...
I get that new car feeling... what i did not for everyone...I'll drive me 72 pickup long before the 2012 one of my wife or my daughters 2016 kia... the 72 pick up is me faded paint job and all.... plus after all that she put it though a testament to Ultra sabers quality it stood up to probably the worst it will ever go through in r/l
