I, personally, think it might be fake names? Since they're wanted, after all.
It's a shame that the Russian is said to be messed up when the author is both trying to be realistic and put an effort into it, though.
Wouldn't Sugimoto feel that it's a real sword, when he cuts his arm, instead of continuing and gutting himself?
Or would the cold water higher his pain threshold?
Anyway, I hope it'll be fun to see what happens.
I'm kinda hoping for some blood.
