Black onk was a substance that could be used to inlay lightsaber hilts. During the Clone Wars, a series of conflicts fought between the Galactic Republic and the breakaway Confederacy of Independent Systems, the architect droid Huyang told a group of Jedi younglings aboard the Crucible that a black onk-infused hilts was an option in the process of building their lightsaber.[1]
