Is it a piece of agate?

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. |

Damascus steel?

Give that man a cigar
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......
