Field notes
The catalog records more than brand and knife type: many entries also name a steel and a production region, including Seki, Tosa, and Sanjo. The navigation separates topics such as origins, geometry, steel, and sharpening; the homepage also offers “Vanilla · concise” and “Chocolate · explore” controls, whose effects are not clear from the extracted text.
