Sith lightsaber

Sith lightsabers or Sith sabers were the lightsabers of the Sith. They were constructed using similar methods as other Force-sensitives but the underlying philosophy was different. Sith couldn't establish a mutual bond with kyber crystals as a light sider could due to the hate, fear and other emotions associated with the dark side that clouded a Sith's concentration which resulted in the Sith individual not being able to establish a mutual bond. Instead a Sith imposed their angry will onto a crystal, bleeding it which turned the crystal into a distinctive red or crimson. Any kyber shard could be bled for use in a Sith lightsaber, though some Sith believed that the proper method to gain a crystal involved capturing one from a Jedi lightsaber.

Sith lightsabers could be of various designs. They could be a regular single blade like Darth Sidious's lightsabers, dual-phased like Darth Vader's lightsaber , double-bladed like Darth Maul's lightsaber , curved-hilted like Darth Tyrunus' lightsaber and cross-guarded like Darth Atrius' lightsabers.
