You've basically got it right.

Here's another thought: Those canisters contained a super-fast two-component epoxy, as well as whatever Dust creates obsidian, arranged to create long fibers. Cinder then activates them, which creates blades made of a fiberglass, possibly with pure obsidian edges, much like the macuahuitl. The bulk structure is therefore a glass-fiber reinforced composite, which is much more durable.
