English support and tax-free are shown only where we've confirmed them. Many Kappabashi shops do offer tax-free — ask at the register (passport required).
One of the shops a blade merchant from Tsubame in Niigata keeps in Kappabashi, this one on Hondori. Knives in Damascus steel, molybdenum steel and SG-2 (R2), and with them pruning shears, dressmaking scissors, carving chisels and sickles. Engraving and maintenance are both taken here, and the online shop ships overseas.
