Just a thought on a possible translation of the scabbard from down upwards.
"Enlightenment brings everlasting life, harmony, reincarnation and prosperity."

(I may be wrong) and need to be enlighthen.

Hi Eftihis and Alam Shah
I am sure you are onto something here. I have posted 3 close ups of the sheath from my knife to show just how similar the iconography is. (the rear of the sheath is different and just decorative). I hope others have something to contribute here.
