Yes! You did make a dent in the ax blade!
The texture on the black metal, though, doesn't quite read "metal" to me.

It because it metal painted with a matte finish.This is why you only see the metallic part where there the cutting edge.I did not try to do highly reflective metallic surface yet because it require more time to analyse the color that will need to be part of the reflection.That why most of the thing i done so far are unrefined metal or metal that look matte i will need to do proper study to advance my understanding of highly reflective metal but right now i am trying to enlarge the catalogue of texture i can play with and leave the harder texture for later.You can see somewhat more successful attempt at making reflective metal in some earlier page in this case the axe here was not indeed to be reflective.
