I think the blades should be more reddish, as they will probably(I think) use Sarncaran in the making of the steel, giving it a red tint. Steel should be steel colored, which is what i designed the blades to look like, as for more red in the blades, having armour and weapons that are red in color is what i'm trying to avoid because it seems rather silly to me. when you make steel you melt it so all the impurities burn out leaving just iron and carbon, saying that because there's red rock added to the smelting process the metal should have a red tinge is actually somewhat implying that the steel is inferior given that it would only be red if the impurities of sarncaran (such as what is likely rust) remained.
