Please tell me that's just stain work and not how the metal actually looks.
Coloring is likely a side effect of heat treatment, titanium dioxide film or both.
Can be from tempering, but it's usually hard to get the color that consistent. It could also be anodized or acid treated. There's a lot of different ways to change the color of steel.
Depends on what it's made of tungsten for example can do all sorts of colours depending how it's heat treated
What part of anything on this post points to this being a functional sword? Pretty obviously meant to be an art piece.
It's not that impractical, but pretty much all swords are for show nowadays. There's no practical justification to have a dedicated melee weapon, especially the ones that are most effective in combat.
GET ME A GAY SWORD!!!!
