Love the Prophecy!
Good looking hilts, did you do the etching yourself or have it done?

Wow, that's so cool! Point Smiley. I've been wanting to do this exact type of thing but never thought of laser etching, was just going to try and stencil/ airbrush.  The etching would be so superior to paint, both in terms of looks and durability, did you do that yourself or have done?  I'd love to know for down the road when get to fine tuning some things I'm currently working on.

I have a laser etcher at work and every now and then I'll bring my sabers in and customize them

Thanks kaanapuchris Smiley  I'll have to do some searching and find a place in my area that's got one n maybe can work something out.  Sorry to bother you but would you mind if I ask what type of places I should be looking for- i.e. Paint/ auto shop, custom signage place, print shop, etc.?

For paint I don't know. I've never painted a saber before aside from the red button on oblivion. For that I used a latex based paint to give a slight shine. Would you be looking for something durable?

Hey kaanapuchris, sorry I wasn't very clear about my question-  I was wondering what kinds of places I should look for to find somewhere with equipment to laser etch, like at your work?  If I could find a place that has I might be able to work something out with them and get some etching done on my sabers- but I wouldn't even know who/ what type of place would have laser etching equipment?  that sith looks SPECTACULAR!  I definitely have to get some etching done on mine now!

I know some jewelry shops may do it. I work in the military and my work center has one for tool labeling
