Reminds me of Hida Tool in Berkeley, CA... the best description I can manage is that it is a hardware store that only sells sharp things from Japan: knives, chisels, saws, planes, scissors, etc. I find it totally fascinating that there's no limit / scoping related to purpose: there are sharp things for the kitchen, garden, construction, woodworking (turns out sharp things are useful in a lot of different domains). Definitely more fun than Amazon.
