References and model notes

Original procedural illustration with proportions informed by a 240 mm Kagekiyo gyuto. The model carries no maker branding; 刃物 simply means cutting tools. It is an illustration rather than a measured replica. Steel layers are separated only in the construction view. Terminology can vary between workshops.
