Both are really excellent blades. I too would prefer DCI over HCI on the first, and if it had it it would be worth several tens of millions. As it is, it's still very nice, but not worth quite so much (to me). Love the second one....katanas aren't as valued as ornates or scimitars, but they are still well worth having. As far as price on that one, I'd say 5-10 easy, but I'm sure someone will tell me I'm full of **** and it's worth a lot more lol. Nice pieces.
