Is this a real Damascus blade or just acid etched?

All modern pattern welded steel (the true damascus process is lost to history) is acid etched to allow the different folded steels to react, showing the different layers. To make fake damascus you take one type of steel unfolded and etch a pattern on it. It generally sticks out like a sore thumb. Kershaw usually uses real damascus steel from Alabama damascus, a U.S. made product. I own a Kershaw Damascus knife and am very pleased. Keep it oiled, clean, and dry as all damascus can be prone to rust.

Is the a Blem knife ?

Kershaw Blems are marked with XXXX (4 x's) on the blade. As for whether it is damascus or not, it is. Alabama Damascus to be exact. the dark/light variance is from the ACID ETCH, if you didn't etch them, they would look like the same metal, you would just see the lines. they etch it to show the layers. Look into how damascus is made and then look into how it is finished. the layers don't just get dark by themselves. Also the reason the layers are getting lighter is from wear, it's just a surface treatment.

Can you put this blade on on a different leek handle like the carbon fiber one?

Yes all leek knife can switch the blades around.
