The absolutely beautiful fit of the one piece urushi lacquered handle paired with the exceptional ginsan steel on this versatile kiritsuke tipped petty make it a one of our personal favourite collections and one you simply have to check out!
We have this single piece and it's listed as non-standard only because the handle has been fitted with a machi gap and the normal ginsan line is fitted without this gap. In all other respects the knife is of the normal finish level and quality. The knife was made by Yamatsuka-San and sharpened by Maruyama-San.
The photos shown for this knife are of the exact knife for sale and we have 1 available.
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.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
