That damascus has an interesting pattern. I love the look of damascus. I'm currently making a couple of damascus blades but using the steel from Alabama Damascus. Realistically I know little about it as far as the blacksmithing skills or metallurgy behind it
That hole...I don't know, depending on the intended use I'd probably just go forward and finish it and see what happens. You can always go back later and shorten it. Unless there's some unseen void behind it I doubt it would ever be an issue. I guess it could hold moisture and cause rust from within.
The case could be made that it just adds to the character as far as cosmetics goes.
