Trying to date an axe found in old south mississippi logging area that I’m restoring.

Did a first etch in vinegar and it appears to be wrought iron with a high carbon edge.

Made this Damascus guitar pick today out of an offcut from a Alabama Damascus billet I had. Hand polished to 5000grit than buffed, etched, and coffee etched. Think it came out great!
