The Matsubara Hamono (Tanaka Kama Industry) KT-404MQ is a versatile Japanese chef’s knife designed for preparing meat, fish, vegetables, and herbs. Known as a *gyuto*, it is the Japanese equivalent of a Western-style chef’s knife. Its blade, featuring a pronounced tip, is well-suited for everything from rapid chopping and precise slicing to butchery and long, sweeping cuts. With a length of 21 cm, it offers an excellent balance between versatility and maneuverability for everyday kitchen tasks. The blade is crafted from SPG2 (SG2) powdered stainless steel—a high-carbon alloy enriched with chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium. This steel is prized for its exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and long-lasting edge retention. Thanks to its stainless composition, it is highly resistant to corrosion and does not require the same level of intensive maintenance as traditional Japanese carbon steels. Nevertheless, this knife should not be cleaned in a dishwasher; it is recommended to wash it by hand and wipe it dry immediately after use.
