Questions & Mysteries Is hardening visble?

Mihawk said black blade, why are you coping. Mihawk referred to Haki turning the blade (visibly) black, hence he said any blade can become one. It was figurative speech not referring to Zoro permanently turning his blade black.
"No liquor until u mastered this feat" is about "if you d infused them with haki those swords would not have broken"
So you are just going to assume Mihawk randomly threw in the notion of the black blade in between despite it not being related to the statement. Makes no sense. Mihawk's statement of "every blade" being able to become a black blade referred to blackening the blade through hardening to "mimick" Mihawk's blade, meaning turning it black and make it hard so that it doesn't get damaged.
Probably yes. After all, Haki started without hardening, Oda could've kept it that way. Given Haki is used most of the time, if not always, there is no point to visually present it to the user. But Oda likes to emphasize even in close up how Zoro's blade slowly takes on a black color.
The statement of Haki being in invisible force doesn't have to contradict the fact you can turn your bodyparts and weapon black anyways. This invisible "force" may just turn physical objects black upon interacting with them, just like when objects absorb light (even invisible UV light that results in fluorescence).
Why would Oda even bother make a distinction between how the reader perceives Haki and how the inverse does. Even if we argued Oda turns it black to kill ambiguity for the reader, why not just killing this ambiguity in verse as well.

If Mihawk's point was that Zoro has to learn Haki to prevent them from damage and that he is not allowed to drink alcohol until he achieved that feat, there would be no need to throw in the notion of every blade being able to turn into a black blade randomly, unless it is related.
-> You need to clad your blades in Haki to harden them and prevent them from getting damage
> Every weapon can become black like mine (emphasizing the color black)
-> No alcohol until you mastered that feat
Somehow the second sentence is unrelated to the previous and next one. Sure buddy, let's agree to disagree then.

I already explained that. It was figurative speech referring to armament being able to mimic a black blade since as long as Zoro applies Haki, his blade turns black and gets its property, like becoming hard. "Every weapon can become a black blade" came right after the statement of infusing the blade with Haki.
