I am currently over in Korea and I have the opportunity to buy some Korean planes and chisels. Some look to be Japanese actually.

Below are some websites of items that I am finding. I am polling the Creek to see what items I should purchase and bring back. The websites are in Korean so you are going to have to go off pictures, sorry.

Let me know what you think. Current exchange rate is about 930 Won to $.

Thanks

I'd buy the items where there is no equivalent on japanwoodworker.com, or where the price difference is large.
