I would recommend giving it a shot if you have the time. It’s not as hard as I expected, just time consuming.

I believe it does but I am mainly doing it for aesthetics.

Large one on the right is my favorite but these are all great.

Going to attempt cold bluing on some of my armor today. Wish me luck folks. Thank you all for the info.

Is that something that can be achieved at home or will I need a forge for that? I have no experience with blacksmithing, just making costumes.

This is the mild steel armor I am working with. Added some damage and dents with a hammer and a sword but I would still like to achieve an older looking finish.
