Decorate a Knife Sheath

In this instructable I will show you how to upgrade a boring knife sheath. I will be using a woodburner to burn right on the sheath

I had previously made this sheath for the karambit that I made from a table saw blade which I do not recommend unless you are making a small knife and don't mind it being thin

PS. this only will work with a leather sheath

A karambit is an Asian knife I'm not sure where exactly it's from but I know it's a country in Asia.

I Googled Asian symbols because I thought it would fit the knife and I found 2 picture's with words. If I did it correctly it should say Dragon Death.

As I am writing this I realized that I made a stupid mistake, I used a symbol from each picture and I can't read it so for all I know it could be 2 completely different languages. If you want to do something similar make sure to be specific IE. Japanese symbols, Chinese symbols etc.

I used a pen and paper to copy the writing just to see the dimensions and to practice

I used a pencil to write on the sheath it's easier to fix mistakes and it's not permanent

this step should be pretty self explanatory, but if it's not plug in the woodburner in and let it heat up

woodburning isn't necessarily boring but it is time consuming and it's easier for me to concentrate when I'm listening to music. The music of the night ?

Using the woodburner follow the pencil marks and go nice and slow to get a uniform color but Don't leave it in one spot for to long

I use the pencil marks as a guide but I also have the picture next to me because the pencil marks aren't perfect

finished thanks for reading leave a comment below

If it doesn't actually say Dragon Death I don't really care it still looks cool.

Bug If somebody can read this and tell me if it actually says Dragon Death it would be appreciated
