Looks like it’s actually some sort of mosaic damascus, so probably forged through.Think those blade graphics/ coating would hold up to use ?

Thanks !IndeedCentermass the blade is hand forged damascus by the great Robert Eggerling; you might notice the pattern is the same, though reversed, on both sides of the blade. It doesn't wear off though patinas wonderfully, being carbon steel (1095 and 15N20)
I've used his steel for years, always sharpens to a razor and holds an edge well!
The bottom long piece was used for the blade and the top piece for the inlays (the balisong is by Hovaere also)
