Camellia Oil for Knife Maintenance 245 ml Tsubaki

Camellia oil – Tsubaki, is a highly regarded knife blade maintenance product in Japan, especially for high-end kitchen knives. It is a key element of care, particularly important for blades made of high-carbon steels sensitive to corrosion, such as Aogami or Shirogami. This oil is obtained by cold-pressing the seeds of the Japanese camellia, a maintenance tradition practiced in Japan for centuries. It is characterized by a lack of acidity, durability, and a 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, creating a thin protective layer that effectively guards against corrosion and oxidation. Instructions for use: – To keep high-carbon steel knives in excellent condition, gently oil the blade using a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent rust. – For knives made of rust-resistant steels (such as ZDP-189, R2, VG-10), it is recommended to apply the oil once a month or two, depending on the frequency of use, using a soft, clean cloth. – Before reusing the knife, it should be thoroughly washed and rinsed with water.
