This is the kind of engraving I am interested in being done to some of my titanium folders, and yes, there is a market for this kind of talent.

This is exactly what I'm talking about!
Absolutely beautiful work by very talented artists!

The one with dragon which knife/model is it?

IMHO Damascus blades are not good match for these #1 & #3 it distracts focus from art, too much is going on here.
#2 with plain blade makes you focus on art work which "pops out" at you, which is the whole point!

I like Damascus blades with nice wood handles that compliments it, these way there is aesthetic balance between blade and handle.

Great design stands on it's own, it doesn't need too much extra space fillers! Great example is this #3 Dragon knife!

Some of the art/collector knives suffer from having TOO MUCH design, eyes don't know where to focus, there is no "White" space left, the whole knife drowns in artwork, on blade+handle+screws+spine everywhere!!!!

Yes exactly! Great looking, did you make it?

Personally, I noticed lately I'm over Damascus it's soo 90's, get tired of it quickly!!!
Now it's done for art sake rather than ancient ones from middle east which were made to cut other steel swords and knifes!

The knife with the Tom Ferry engraving is the Ray Laconico KBS Enforcer. It's a special version of his Enforcer model made for one of his friends.
