Premium Tsubaki Camellia Oil for Japanese Knife Maintenance (3.4 oz)

Though I haven't used my knife in a while, I'm uncertain if I've properly cared for it. I worry about my knife rusting, even though I frequently wipe off any moisture. To avoid this issue, we highly recommend Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Abura) as the perfect solution.

Camellia Oil is perfect for preserving all types of cutlery, including kitchen knives, billhooks, hatchets, and flick knives. Being tasteless, odorless, and non-drying, it keeps knives clean even after use, without damaging ceramic, plastic, or rubber products. You can safely clean your cutlery without any risk.

Maintenance is easy - for a 245ml product, simply wipe the moisture off the knife, then spray and thoroughly wipe the blade. For a 100ml product, lightly dampen a cloth and gently wipe the knife.

KUROBARA HAMONO TSUBAKI, made in Tokyo, Japan since 1923, is the ultimate maintenance oil selected by Japanese professional chefs. Japanese knives are characterized by high carbon steel and susceptibility to rust, but KUROBARA oil has completely prevented rust and continually protected kitchen tools for over 80 years.

This authentic, versatile oil can be used not only on kitchen knives, but also on various carbon steel tools like woodworking planes, chisels, saws, and even sewing machines, acting as a lubricant without drying out.

The official English instructions advise applying an appropriate amount of the oil to a cloth and wiping the steel parts. Regular, not necessarily every-use, application is recommended to maintain rust prevention on the blade and metal components like screws and grips.

KUROBARA Knife Oil is not edible but ideal for high-end cutlery maintenance, sewing machine rust-proofing, and DIY tool care, as it is odorless and non-drying. Our products have been crafted with experience and technology since 1923 in Japan.
