Terrible pictures but here are two knives I just finished up for a family cousin, handles are blackwalnut with a homemade mosaic pin and hollow stainless for the other pins.

If you can find a power source DIY electro etchjng isn't too difficult.  If you're interested in it I'll tell you what I know, otherwise I won't go in to details in case you already know how it works or just have no interest.

There might be info on electro etching in the How To section. I think Forest Trecker posted it a few years ago.
