Camellia Oil for knife maintenance 245 ml Tsubaki

Camellia oil – Tsubaki – is a highly valued blade maintenance product in Japan, including for high-end kitchen knives. It is a key element of care, particularly important for blades made of corrosion-sensitive, high-carbon steels, such as Aogami or Shirogami.

This oil is obtained by cold pressing Japanese camellia seeds, a care tradition practiced in Japan for centuries. It is characterized by its lack of acidity, durability, and neutral taste and smell, which makes it safe for contact with food and non-toxic.

To protect the blade, simply apply a small amount of oil to a soft paper towel or cloth to create a thin, protective layer that effectively protects against corrosion and oxidation.

How to use:

- To keep high-carbon steel knives in excellent condition, gently oil the blade with a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent rusting.

- For rust-resistant steel knives (such as ZDP-189, R2, VG-10), it is recommended to apply oil once a month or two, depending on the frequency of use, using a soft, clean cloth.

- Before reusing the knife, wash it thoroughly and rinse it with water.
