Can you help identify the makers of these two beauties (one w makers mark)?

[Niedziella]

Hello BladeForums,

I am have been going through my collection (started about 30 years ago) and simply cannot remember who made these two beauties. C
Can you help me? I know I should probably dis-assemble the huge tanto but perhaps some can recognize it?

Best wishes,

Søren Niedziella

(...will add the pictures directly when I find out how....)

The Saya says Kizuna 絆、meaning "a bond" as in between people.
You might want to take the tanto apart and see what it says on the nakago
Howard Clark uses the Mei of Oomimi (Big ear) 大耳.
His mei looks like this:

Hey Soren, sorry, you probably don't remember me I sold you a Jacob Powning Swedish long sword many years ago, about the time you were contemplating starting up Albion Europe as I recall. You were always a pleasure to deal with and I am glad to see you here.
