I think there is smoke wash and blued is another one , maybe colour case hardened would be possible.

I am not familiar with this "smoke wash" of which you speak.

Smoke wash is a new term for the smoky look you get on some stone washed blades. IIRC, it is a combination of stone washing in an acidic media. Don't quote me on that, though.

Antique is another finish ... One That looks okay on my colt 1851 navy replica ... It's a finish that seems to have grown on me over the years ... I don't know why. I don't know if I've seen many blades with the antique finish ... Or if it's even a desired finish. I think it has an acquired look to it.
