Hello Marius,
by this blade style with engraving in up I would agree with you since I've never seen one with laminated blade.
But do you think that this blade of a gunong hasn't benefit from an etch:

Very interesting! In the case youbprovided the link, the etching revealed a nice pattern, and this is a certain benefit.

Thank you
