Not a fossil, not a mineral (agate).

HINT: it is either a tool or a weapon and (bonus hint) it is manmade

No

Here's another hint.
I have already said that it's a similar production process to a samurai sword so it's metal. And it's a weapon and a tool which is anything from a screwdriver to a train. And it's a modern thing made with ancient techniques so it's not a relic/museum piece.

A damascus steel knife. A tool and a weapon.
Made by folding together two different kinds of steel, a softer kind to prevent shattering and a tougher one to keep an edge, and then hammering it until a blade is forged. Then just dipping into an etching solution to bring out the pattern.

A samurai sword, the Katana, is made in the same way by forging together two kinds of steel, the difference is that the Katana has a larger amount of folds.

A damascus steel knife is on my wish list for years now.
But (cheap knock offs or small fish knives not counting) the price can be upwards from €300.

That last clue yielded a wealth of Google opportunities.

Looking for something......
