Really only practical in a situation where the blade is expected to break often. Raven's blades appear to be made of dust instead of standard metal, which makes them a lot more fragile than standard blades. So its a trade off of special effects from the dust for durability. A similar thing can be seen in Attack on Titan, their blades break regularly against the tough skin of the titans(they were already using the toughest metal they could find) so the blades are segmented like a craft knife so only part of the blade need break off and they carry spares
