That's slick Joe, you always put out excellent work. The Ironwood and Damascus compliment each other very nicely here.
Sort of related note. That looks like a pretty deep etch. Would you worry about long term longevity if it was actually used as a kitchen knife?
I found that a little deeper has some benefits. Less friction while cutting and easier for the owner to restore. This knife will actually be used in the kitchen by a chef in Virginia.
