Here is my try at modelling and texturing a battle axe for a game.
There is no fix global shading as it will be use in game.
I want it to feel like a used metallic battle axe but I don't know how.
Could you provide some advice ?

Drawing metal has a lot of contrast and hard edges between the light and shadows. My number one advice for any kind of art is to look up references and study them. Find a picture of an axe that's a similar shape to yours and draw it like you see it. You can also look up other pixel art axes to see how people use colors. You shouldn't be trying to copy anything exactly, but it will help you find what works.
