So I seen someones blade had a dragoon (i believe) symbol on the cloth cover near the hilt of the sword and was wondering how this is done? I think it would be cool to do something similar with my name in greek to mark them as mine! Θάνατος  |

Fabric paint is what I've used. I'd say you could stencil it, but the closed nature of the characters prevents that without modification of the writing.
I'd say fabric paint is your best option. Apply it with a brush for best results.

If your sword is black, Silver (metallic) Sharpies work fairly well, if it is other than black a regular black sharpie would work just as well as a fabric marker.

AGREED RUNE! I'm sure we can show you a few things that might help you out with those monstrous handles. And the name on the blade did look great! |
