Camellia Oil for Knife Maintenance 245 ml Tsubaki

Camellia oil – Tsubaki, is a valued agent in Japan for maintaining blades, including high-quality kitchen knives. It is a key element of care, especially important for blades made of corrosion-sensitive high-carbon steels, such as Aogami or Shirogami.

This oil is obtained by cold pressing the seeds of the Japanese camellia, a care tradition practiced in Japan for centuries. It is characterized by the absence of acidity, durability, as well as neutral taste and smell, making 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.

Usage instructions:

- To keep high-carbon steel knives in excellent condition, gently oil the blade using a soft, clean cloth after each use to prevent rusting.
- For knives made of rust-resistant steels (such as ZDP-189, R2, VG-10), it is recommended to apply the oil once every month or two, depending on usage frequency, using a soft, clean cloth.
- Before reusing the knife, wash it thoroughly and rinse with water.
