Camellia oil, 245 ml, Tsubaki Abura

Camellia oil to extend the life of your knives

Camellia oil (Tsubaki Abura) is a traditional Japanese care oil in a 245 ml bottle that protects your quality knives against rust and corrosion. This natural oil forms a protective film on the blade that both preserves the knife's appearance and extends its service life. The oil is food-safe and has a light consistency that makes it easy to apply.

Ideal for maintaining Japanese knives and other carbon steel knives that require special protection against moisture and oxidation.

Effective rust protection for your valuable knives

Camellia oil has for centuries been the preferred choice in Japan for caring for both swords and high-quality knives. When applied, it penetrates the surface of the steel and creates a water-repellent barrier that prevents moisture from reaching the metal. This is particularly important for high-carbon steel knives, which are especially susceptible to rust. The oil also helps to dissolve early-stage corrosion and thereby halts deterioration before it takes hold.

Food-safe and free from side effects

Unlike many other oils and care products, camellia oil is completely natural and food-safe. It has no strong odour or flavour that could affect your ingredients. The oil does not go rancid over time, ensuring long-lasting quality for both the oil itself and the knives you treat with it. It leaves no sticky residue, but dries to a fine protective film that neither attracts dirt nor affects the sharpness of the knife.

How to apply camellia oil correctly

For optimum protection, you should maintain your knives with camellia oil on a regular basis. First wash the knife thoroughly with warm water and mild washing-up liquid. Then dry the knife carefully until it is completely dry. Apply a thin layer of camellia oil using a soft cloth or paper towel. Rub the oil over the entire blade, including the area where the blade meets the handle. Remove any excess oil with a clean cloth. The frequency of treatment depends on how often you use the knife – from weekly with intensive use to monthly with normal household use.
