Covered brands include Spyderco, Bark River, BUCK, CASE, ESEE, TOPS, as well as Japanese brands such as G・SAKAI, MCUSTA, Hattori Hamono, and Takeshi Saji.

Orders with payment confirmed by 12:00 noon on business days, as well as credit card and cash-on-delivery orders, can be shipped the same day.

Payment methods include bank transfer, QR payment, credit card, Paidy, convenience store payment, and cash on delivery.
The advantages are its extremely rich selection, high level of specialization, and thorough explanations regarding authenticity and legality, making it suitable for users looking for specific brands or steel models. The drawbacks are that returns are not accepted unless there is a quality issue, and defective items must be reported by email within five days of arrival. Purchases are limited to users aged 20 or older, and proof of age may be required. There are no visible service descriptions for overseas shipping, multilingual support, or services aimed at Chinese users.
It is better suited to users in Japan aged 20 or above who are interested in camping, hunting, fishing, bushcraft, or knife collecting. Even if Chinese users can access the site, they should pay close attention to compliance risks related to the import, possession, and transportation of knives. No information is provided regarding access status from mainland China, so it is assessed as unknown.
