Affordable Japanese Denim and Knives in Osaka, Kyoto or Tokyo? (Help!)

I’ve been to a few places and the denim is 200$ USD (I’m Canadian). The knives are SO expensive as well. I’ve heard Tower Knives Osaka is good though?

Are these the real prices or am I going to tourist traps?

I’m here for a few days. I’d really love to gift someone a nice surprise. I’d love some help, advice suggestions for stores please! 🤍🥹
