My idea is a about an orc village and specifically about 1 weaponsmith. This village is settled near a special metal deposit which is actually glowing with orangeish color, but weaponsmith who is creating these weapons make the top layer from regular metal and whenever it being used in the battle and gets deep scratches the shinning orange metal underneath is becoming more visible, so you can tell how many times this weapon actually been used in battles, basically at some point the whole blade turns into orange shining metal) and it also gives a nice variety to all kinds of decorative carvings)
