Has anyone seen fleur de lis filework? It seems like I'd need a fairly beefy spine to get it to look good.

I bet you can do it. The tricky part would be to get the height and width proportional. Here's a cross I did on the spine for my hunting buddy's knife.

You could always do an inlay in the wood handle or on the butt of the handle. I did this one on a bow I built.

I actually have that cross picked out for the knives I'm doing for my brothers. I'll likely use it on my wife's chef knife as well. After looking at the blade, I don't think the spine is going to be wide enough to get a fleur de lis to look good. The inlay idea is nice tho... hmm...
