No it’s not. You just made that up. Both statements are false. Please read explanation from @DBSS above, before you post another nonsense to spread false informations.

That’s a nice little pocket toy.
I carried my Schrade “Sharp Finger” scrimshaw/Engraved for a coupla decades
till somebody liked it more than me. (Lovely little, but Never sharp enuff knife)
With a Martiini on hip for over 50 yrs.
Have gone through quite a few over the yrs.
But That Martiini just keeps coming on.
Never misses a beat. always sharp enuff. always there.
I’ve got a few folders. Puma etc. and recently. a niice, fits well in hand,
You can feel the weight. reasonably sharp Em-09… All $8.60 of it, delivered.
(I dislike ANYTHING lightweight ,you’ve reduced something to get there)
Lose it/break it. give it away. No loss.
But it does the same job as my $370 Puma Prince.
For which I paid $30 AUD. for the first one.
in mid ’70’s.
I’m the opposite, the lighter the better for me. I wear shorts most days and usually carry my blades loose in my pocket or around my neck so I shoot for under 3oz.
.6oz 
Willy.
I live in Northern Tropics of Queensland. Weather averaged from 24 to 37c
ALL yr round. We live in shorts and tee’s. with sandals apart from 7ish weeks a yr when I may put on a skivvy in morning.

Oh. Damascus steel. From Wikipedia. Peruse.
v v v v.
Damascus steel was the forged steel comprising the blades of swords smithed in the Near East from ingots of wootz steel[1] imported from India and Sri Lanka. These swords are characterized by distinctive patterns of banding and mottling reminiscent of flowing water. Such blades were reputed to be tough, resistant to shattering, and capable of being honed to a sharp, resilient edge.[2]
The steel is named after Damascus, the capital city of Syria and one of the largest cities in the ancient Levant. It may either refer to swords made or sold in Damascus directly, or it may just refer to the aspect of the typical patterns, by comparison with Damask fabrics (which are themselves named after Damascus).[3][4]
The original method of producing wootz is not known. Modern attempts to duplicate the metal have not been entirely successful due to differences in raw materials and manufacturing techniques. Several individuals in modern times have claimed that they have rediscovered the methods by which the original Damascus steel was produced.[5][6][7]
The reputation and history of Damascus steel has given rise to many legends, such as the ability to cut through a rifle barrel or to cut a hair falling across the blade.[8] A research team in Germany published a report in 2006 revealing nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a blade forged from Damascus steel.[9][10][11] Although many types of modern steel outperform ancient Damascus alloys, chemical reactions in the production process made the blades extraordinary for their time, as Damascus steel was superplastic and very hard at the same time. During the smelting process to obtain Wootz steel ingots, woody biomass and leaves are known to have been used as carburizing additives along with certain specific types of iron rich in microalloying elements. These ingots would then be further forged and worked into Damascus steel blades. Research now shows that carbon nanotubes can be derived from plant fibers,[12] suggesting how the nanotubes were formed in the steel. Some experts expect to discover such nanotubes in more relics as they are analyzed more closely.

There you go.
I use Tojiro and a coupla other “damascus” steel kitchen knives.
Which ARE more flexible and sharper than any mono steel I’ve tried over the yrs.
Apart from Blue or white Powder Japanese steel and maybe,
A Good quality Power saw blade for heavy skinning.
I sometimes accidentally leave my Opinel No. 6 in my pocket, but I always feel like a criminal when I do even though it’s not illegal.

NICE!!!

Those replaceable blade tools above.
I use a Stanley. Curved with black crackle finish, red Highlights. $24AUD.
It carries a pack of 8 or 10? blades inside handle.
Roll top wheel. withdraw blade. slide in/out. New blade charged and ready to go.
Magic.
Another beach day

Opinel No. 6 is the exact same weight and it’s a no compromise small knife.
