To remove the ukiran, heat the blade a little at the sorsoran area and gently remove the ukiran, in a gentle twisting motion.
From the 3rd picture, it seems that pitch had been used to secure the ukiran, due to some black stain on the ganja and sorsoran area.

The pendok you should be able to remove and do some minor touch-up.
