@Christopher, please check to @Uafan's comment ,

From you experience, it seems you still a chance to claim that you are innocent, however asserting innocent in Japan won't come easily, @Uafan's comment said that too.

They'll try to push to make as if you were guilty. They'll make you to admit that you are guilty, and sign some paper.

Seeing your experience that you mentioned earlier

bought the knife off Amazon with a ton of other fishing gear in a tackle box set. It was a real fiasco. It must slipped through the postal system without getting flagged. I did not know about the sword acts law.

For knife, treatment can be really vary, however for your case you were using kitchen knife inside your property for preparing meal, that shouldn't be a problem at all.

Since that kitchen knife were used in your home area. Then it's not illegal, if you are willing to challenge them. 

Official rules pointed that, knives that being produced for preparing meal and used for that purpose, that means you have legitimate reason.

When they ask something, try to confirm whether is voluntarily or not, even they never mention that. When they ask you to go to their office for further questioning. It still could be voluntarily, however when you go with them, basically you agree with them.

And they kept my knife too. Was not getting that back. Nice Buck fillet.

The reason you don't get you knife back because you already sign that statement, which is likely admit that you are guilty and your willing to handover your knife.
