KNIFE SHOP MYDO (Kitchen knife)

Knife shop Mydo is the hidden gem of Gangnam, Seoul, Korea.
If you are visiting Korea and you are in the industry, don’t look further.
They are knowledgeable and able to speak English and Japanese no problem + I can tell they are real Knife collectors and love what they do,

* hidden gem is in the basement and if you are having trouble finding where it is, don’t be afraid to ask around, they helped me to find it as well, real nice Korean folks Thanks!

Staff is knowledgeable, friendly and very patient.Both of the gentlemen helping me spoke English. There's a difference between just doing your job and really going out of your way to help a customer. These two had a clear passion for good knives and were able to discuss with me differences in single vs. double bevel, proper sharpening/maintenance of damascus-patterned carbon steel, grips, spines, weights as well as key points I didn't even know to ask about. I would agree whole-heartedly with the previous reviewer who called this a hidden gem. It's frankly one of the best knife stores I've ever seen rivaling the famous ones in Tokyo. They have a selection that far exceeds what's listed on the website, so it's well worth a visit to look in person. (HT: Thanks, Ken! And thanks to your co-worker!)

Incredibly helpful staff. Abundant selection and really great quality at a variety of price points. I highly recommend this place.

J’ai acheté mon premier vrai couteau de cuisine le vendeur était très patient et expliquait très bien, il ne cherchait pas à me vendre le plus cher mais bien celui qu’il me fallait
Le magasin est très beau et les couteaux qu’ils vendent sont vraiment tous très très beau

Tolle Auswahl!
Sehr nette Verkäufer!
