Hi, I have been working on this knife for some time now. It is an 8" integral bolster cable fillet. You will notice that you can't see the cable pattern in the photos, instead of doing a deep etch I brought out the pattern by sanding with a slurry and a quich etch with vinegar. I left it subtle so it would flow with the bolster which I couldn't figure out how to etch after attatching the handle. I came very close to fitting the pieces prior to gluing but it wasn't quite right. Overall I am very happy with this knife, I think it is probobaly the best I've done so far.
Thanks for looking, please let me know what you think, -Justin Carnecchia

That oval transition between blade and handle is very nice. Love the wood on that handle really makes it look expensive.

Thanks guys, this knife was my first commission (and first integral, and first cable damascus) and I was awful proud of it.
