Thank you for the translation.

To clarify: Kiya is a retailer, and they contract out work to smiths all around Japan to make knives for them.

Thank you for clarifying that. I thought they were a manufacturer, but it looks like they contract out to smiths and add their kanji to the knives on the unadorned side.

It's a bit confusing, but I'm glad I was able to get a better understanding of this.
