Hi
the main peg is located near the Tsuba (guard som e
swords have a second peg.
The are also some times wedge shaped and come out of
one side only.
Depending how long its been on the blade it may not
come off too easily. if it dont move rfreely
hold the sword in the hand so the balde is vertical,
and strike down on your wrist the shock should loosen
the blade.
when you take the bits off the blade lay them down in
the order you took them off so they go back the same.
But why do you want to remove the handle if there is
no need to dont

In the hilt, possible under the wrapping you'll find a
small pin, proberbly
wooden. Pull this out and the hilt will come away
from the blade. The part
of the blade that extends up under the hilt is where
you will usually find
the maker's mark.
