Hi Estley! Have fun on your upcoming trip!

Try **** Hardware Shopping Center. I did a google search and I think there address is: 198, Gurojungang-ro, ****-gu, Seoul Koren. And their website is http://www.koreatools.co.kr

Let me know what you think!

Best,
Nathan

i found that in google too, have you been there? i'm not looking for anything in particular. Mostly something "different" that what we have in the US. I understand that the woodworking chisels they use are either japanese or japanese style, would be nice to pick up a few of those.

Hi Estley,

There is an eBay seller whose handle is "allaview8979". He is from Busan, South Korea. I have done 2 or 3 transaction with him. I am a satisfied customer. He sells in his store such hand tools brands as Olfa, Anex, Top, Wiha, Genius, Lobster, Dogyu, and NT Cutter, for instance.

You could contact him on eBay now to set up a transaction arrangement to have your tools delivered to your hotel in Seoul when you arrive in 2 weeks. Another idea is to contact him about visiting his store in Busan via train from the Seoul Station (about a 2.5 hours ride) to personally see his tool selection; and avoid the shipping charge and delivery time.

Here is a link to his eBay store: allaview8979.
