I think it's referred to as japan'd. I think that was the general idea. But I'm not sure how successful it is. It's old school.

I think they are dipped in oil when hot this gives a blueish black finish I use to do this to tools in metal work at school but I can't remember why, Japaning is a black weather resistant paint finish
