Hado Shiraki Ginsan Santoku

A superb knife from Hado's "non-standard" collection made by Shiraki-san and sharpened by Maruyama-san.

We have this single piece and it's listed as non-standard purely because it's a limited availability item. It's finished as new and fitted with a magnolia and black buffalo wa handle.

What is a "non-standard" HADO knife?

HADO are well known for their exacting attention to detail, fit and finish so when we are occasionally able to source any non-standard knives, it simply means it would be a knife that doesn't exactly match the standard size, thickness or shape of the other knives in the range so you might find a slightly shorter knife, one that's a fraction thinner on the spine or with a slightly forward facing heel instead of straight. It might even be a perfect knife but just one with limited availability. 

All the knives are still made and finished to a standard HADO are satisfied with but due to these small differences they are marked as non-standard.

Please note that when buying a non-standard knife, it is limited to only what we have available and the reason for it being non-standard is clearly listed. Your 30 day money back guarantee remains the same as with all purchases on the site but we cannot exchange the knife for a different model.
