Any good cutlery/sharpening/waterstones stores around Taipei, Taiwan?

[Bladenoobie1]

Hi,

A buddy of mine is in Taiwan and I was curious as to whether sharpening gear like Japanese waterstones would be cheaper to purchase there. Being that Taiwan and Japan are relatively close and the currency exchange rate between Taiwan and Japan is roughly 3 to 1 as opposed to the US to Japan which is almost 100 to 1.

I really would like to add more stones to my waterstones I currently have so if anyone can suggest good cutlery stores in the Taipei area, please let me know!

You should send Haze a PM and ask him, as he lives and works there. He would know better than anyone about the shops that carry items such as stones and other gear.
