KUROBARA 100% Pure Tsubaki Japanese Cutlery Knife Maintenance Camellia Oil (8.3 oz) Dispenser

I have both custom and utility knives I use every day. On my custom knives, which are high carbon steel, I use this as a thin coating to avoid staining from finger oil and other things that come in contact with my knives as well as protecting against oxidation (rust). On my utility knives (which are typically stainless steel), I use this to remove adhesives that accumulate on the blade when opening boxes for things I've purchased. Because it's a food-grade oil, it's safe to use in cleaning and protecting kitchen cutlery as well. It's non-toxic, odorless and food-grade safe. The spray top really helps to apply a thin coat. For the price, you can't go wrong keeping a bottle of this on hand.

Very good product. Easy to apply to knife blades. Also, I use it on my miniature axes to protect them from rust.

Works well on my Butcher Knife/Heavy Duty Cleaver that is High Carbon Steel. The oil has longevity, and the spray top controls amount used well making it easy to apply. It is also food grade oil so it is great for cutlery knives and minimizes rust.

Spray top works, oil works, no scent

I recently started bonsai as a hobby. I love it but find that there aren’t many places to find info on care of tools. The tools can run expensive and if not cared for properly - will rust and get all sticky. I looked for and failed to find someone with a good combo set of care needs and instructions. I had to figure it out. Not even beginner sets had care of tools items or instructions. Please folks- get your act together and put out a good set of care of items and include good instruction. That said- this oil worked very well to clean my bonsai scizzors ( despite lack of instructions) and while I’m not sure if I did it correctly, I believe it is at least an adequate job. I’m not sure if the scizzors should be stored in an oiled cloth like chef tools or not but since I couldn’t find anything - they’re wrapped in a dry cloth to keep them clean. I would love to see information on care of the scizzors ( they arrived in a small box with nothing) and don’t understand why it’s so hard to find This is a niche that I haven’t seen filled. Please do so!

nice oil, lasts a long time. Used on everything between my Carbon steel knives to my vintage Winchester. No oxidation after a year. Very generously sized.

I am a woodworker who uses both modern and antique tools, many of which are made from iron. I was introduced to camellia oil by another woodworker who swears by it. He was not wrong. As a rust prevention tool and light lubricant this stuff can't be beaten. I use it to protect my bandsaw table and tablesaw, and use it on all of my metal tools, including some vintage cast iron Stanley hand planes from the 40's. It has been tremendous. I've also started using this to 'wax' my jointer to ensure smooth progress and it has far outperformed my old wax treatments. Highly recommended.

Works well and it doesn’t appear to be diluted with water. It doesn’t freeze as easily as all that which is kind of my informal test for how much these oils are diluted. Effective as a lubricant and as a rust inhibitor

Excellent on my Japanese knife handles and for blade protection on my blue 2 yanagiba.

Une huile de camélia 100% de très haute qualité sans aucun additifs, utilisable du cosmétique (peau, cheveux etc...) au bricolage (protection des outils de jardin et de bricolage, des lames et des manches en bois ou en corne des couteaux, des touches de guitares, des meubles etc...) ! Sa texture fine et légère pénètre rapidement, sans laisser de gras ni d' odeurs! C'est un vrai produit à tout faire ( très apprécié de mes confrères luthiers ou ébénistes, entre autres...) ! Ravis de mon achat! Ma femme aussi...

I used the forged chopping knife once every 4-5 weeks. The knife got rusty after a month that I need to clean before using. This Kitasho oil stay and not drying up after weeks, is able to keep the rust away. It is not sticky and able to clean quickly before use.

大事な鋼包丁 しっかり保護してくれて助かってます。 なんて言っても スプレータイプってのがまた使いやすい とてもいい商品です

Very good product. Using it for my Japanese carbon steel knife.
