Carrefour and SOGO do sell some kitchen stuff, but no idea if they sell sushi knives.

This thread also might be of some use.

Not really close to the MRT but they do sell Sashimi knives. If your browser can do “translation” you can navigate their website.

Sogo and Sogo Fuxing (two different buildings which can be accessed directly from MRT Zhongxiao Fuxing) do have knives but not a huge selection.

I think it might depend also on your budget. I bought a Shun Blue Kiritsuke Knife but from the USA since it was much cheaper there.
