I am curious if anyone knows the signatures for these. I’d like to know more about them because my grandpa kept them in his closet and hardly ever took them out. The smaller one has the signature on the handle and the larger one has the signature on the tang. I know they aren’t in the best of condition. Any info would help!! Thank you

Got a fairly decent same skin today - although it will need to be cut carefully to make the large nodules fall in a straight line. It's for a koshirae I intend to have made at some point for a shinsaku tanto I own. I've also included photos of the blade itself plus the modern sterling silver menuki and shitodome I intend to use.
