A highly polished one will be easily spotted by a reflection of the sun, and your enemy may see you coming and shoot you before you can swing the Axe.

EDTA AKA evaporust will get rid of the rust and not attack organic stuff like wood. Safe enough to eat.

Sandblasted will rust faster.
Interesting. I might have noticed that too with bead blasting. Why?

In an essay on religion, Ben Franklin had this amusing secular story about axes and polishing them:
"[FONT=&]Like the Man who in buying an Ax of a Smith my neighbor, desired to have the whole of its Surface as bright as the Edge; the Smith consented to grind it bright for him if he would turn the Wheel. He turn’d while the Smith press’d the broad Face of the Ax hard & heavily on the Stone, which made the Turning of it very fatiguing. The Man came every now & then from the Wheel to see how the Work went on; and at length would take his Ax as it was without farther Grinding. No, says the Smith, Turn on, turn on; we shall have it bright by and by; as yet ’tis only speckled. Yes, says the Man; but—I think I like a speckled Ax best."[/FONT]
