Better Pics Japanese Nihonto Swords.

I don't think you will lose anything at $2000 for the pair. :)

 

No photo of the nakago (tang) of the shorter sword?

 

Long sword is signed Kaneyoshi. Probably a Mino smith...Looks like a decent sword.

I wasn't sure how to get the handle off.....

Yeah, that does appear to be a bit of a puzzle! :dunno:

 

I think there are two possibilities: one, it could be a friction fit with possibly some pitch holding it tight. Or, the two menuki (metal pieces on the sides of the handle) are covering a pin through the handle. They look attached though so maybe a friction fit...You need to find someone that knows what they are doing to check...

 

In any case, if you can buy them both for $2000 I think no matter what you find you will be ok...
