Most likely some kind of lacquer or varnish.

Get an axe file (like this one) and a Lansky puck. You can find a lot of great tutorials on how to sharpen an axe on youtube.

I normally clip off the pin, use a metal file to file it as flush as I can, and glue a rare earth magnet to the back using E6000 glue. The glue you can get at any craft store. You should be able to get the magnets there too. Depending on how many you want to make though these ones are probably a better deal.

    I just copied what I saw in a wranglerstar YouTube vid. I purchased these three items and they will be my dedicated axe sharpening devices.

Thanks. I have this one that hopefully will work. Doesn't seem angled though

I like to sharpen my axes with a file this one works well. I have different axes for felling and splitting yours looks like it has a hollow or concave grind in my experience these don't make good splitting axes (sorry) but where you are just using it for kindling it should be fine. I like to sharpen my splitting axes with a more robust edge think cleaver vs fillet knife. And just sharp enough that if you push on it and slide your hand down it will cut you so pressure won't break the skin and sliding your thumb along the edge won't cut you but both will. Good luck

Edit: watch this at 17:15 he is done hanging the head and begins in on sharpening
