Integrals are excidingly cool, but not necessary since you can get to the same place with a welded or pinned or epoxied bolster. Not to discourage the search, just saying that like many other parts of this hobby some features are not important.

Not common but I've seen a couple.

Rader and Haburn are my favorites. Lisch also does beautiful damascus with very nice integral bolster, but i prefer the other two from a performance perspective. Halcyon Forge also offers integrals on occasion, which are very well done.

I went on a bit of a western integral kick last year.

Salem Straub also makes some pretty cool damascus integrals.

Rader is top for me. Bloodroot and Lisch make nice handles. I wish they made nicely ground blades.

Some other killer western integrals that I’ve been eyeing for a while but alas the new mortgage has put them out of budget for a while.
