An endoscopic instrument includes: a knife (2)； a wire (3) having a distal end connected to the knife (2)； a sheath (4) allowing the wire (3) to pass therethrough, a main body (8) having the freely rotative sheath (4) fixed thereto； a slider (9), having the wire (3) fixed thereto, disposed slidable in an axial line direction of the main body (8)； a stopper (6), provided to the wire (3) or the knife (2), for projecting outward radially relative to the wire (3)； a first-distal-regulation section and a second-distal-regulation section provided to the sheath (4) for regulating distal sliding movement of the wire (3) by making contact with the stopper (6)； and a second-distal-regulation section, provided distally relative to the first-distal-regulation section, for regulating distal sliding movement of the wire by making contact with the stopper, wherein the stopper (6) is capable of moving between the first-distal-regulation section and the second-distal-regulation section by rotating the main body (8) relative to the sheath (4) around an axial line by predetermined rotational angle, and at least two different projection lengths of the knife (2) can be maintained by contacting the main body (8) to the first-distal-regulation section or the second-distal-regulation section. Accordingly, at least two stepwise adjustment of the projection length of the incising section can be maintained easily and reliably.
