Unhappy Help!!!!!!! I have an extremely complicated issue!

Ok!! Due to the recent Scares and hysteria, Hillary, elections, New cold war with china and russia, And sadly im afraid of the threat of Nukular death of the east coast/ Crazy post event america. Im getting my Weapons Prepared, Right now I'm on my last blade... Im very new to knive foraging and i wanted to know as much as possible about my sickle that ive restored, and given a point. I wana make the blade have a black matt blade, and a mirror like edge, the Blades completely flat on one side, and the other side slopes down all to the point i gave it as it was rounded with normal tools for forging. It says "Village Blacksmith" on the one side, As well as i want to give it a beautiful Handel, well.. I wana keep the one it has but whats the best i can do to give it an Godly asthetic, ***Silver, wood, matt black, colour template***

There's only two ways to make a blade be black. One is to paint it and there are special paints for that job but it will cover the text on the blade. The other way is to etch it in FeCl but that will probably give you gray - it depends on whether or not the steel contains enough molybdenum to make the etch turn black and it probably doesn't.

All you have to do to make the edge shiny is polish it with very fine stones as the last step to sharpening.

Every knife supply places sells all the gorgeous wood you could ask for. If you get stabilized wood (about $30) you can get a burl and it will be extremely easy to finish - all you need to do is buff it. It will also be far more durable than any other wood you might get....
