The store catalogs 1,167 products across 76 collections, but product sample shows apparel and components dominating initial visibility—core knife families (Adamas, Adira, etc.) are buried in collections with only 7–23 products each. Homepage navigation appears to lack clear filtration or merchandising hierarchy for knife buyers seeking specific styles or use cases.

Knife buyers typically navigate by family, blade type, or use case; burying core product families behind generic 'All Products' and apparel dilutes discoverability and extends decision time, directly reducing conversion for price-sensitive and comparison-heavy buyers.
