    Lovely! The simple silhouette and coloration looks like a true fit to the SW universe.

    Did you use the covert button screw for a blade retention screw? I was planning on doing that and was wondering how well it would work.

    What did you use to give it the aged look? I am looking to do something similar to mine. I like the look that others get with black paint and lots of rubbing, but yours looks different. It looks more like the metal just lost its shine from use. It almost looks like you used an etching solution or something. That is what I want

    Spray paint, paint thinner, sandpaper, and a clear coat
    I wiped off the raw body with the thinner, took some sandpaper to it,
    then gave it a coat of gunmetal color spray paint.
    Repeated the process 9-10 times and i got that look from it
