i am about to purchase a belt axe kit with a 4140 alloy head and ash handle (kit form). can someone tell me what process i would need to age the axe head (pitting and what ever else that makes it look like it is an 100 year old original)? also, what do i need to age the handle--spray paint black then stain and rub back?i do not want a shiny finish on the wood.
does the head need to be heat treated?
thanks for the info :v :v :v
