Kanetsune KB401 Tsubuki Camelia Oil 100ml

The name Tsubaki in Japanese means Camellia Flower and this oil is from the Camellia plant. Made in Japan, KUROBARA is recognised as producing a highly refined version of Camellia Oil that is superior to almost every other brand on the market. It is basically an odourless, non-drying oil, and perfect for the care and preservation of your beautiful high carbon knives. The high-grade precision oil has been refined through 80 years of experience and technology by Kurobara Honpo in Tokyo.

Pure Camellia Oil (Tsubaki Oil or Tea Seed Oil) protects steel knives from rust, staining, spotting and tarnish. Can be used on all knives including high carbon, stainless-steel and even wooden handles. Remember ‘stainless’ does not mean that the knife cannot corrode. The stainless-ness of knives can vary, but all steel can rust or discolour if misused or if improperly cared for.  A great thing about Camellia oil is that it doesn't turn rancid or gummy like most vegetable oils and that's a big plus. Use a light coat and this bottle will last a long time. It won't prevent the natural tarnish or darkening of high carbon steel knives but that's OK since its primary function is to protect against rust. It also has workshop applications and can be used for the likes of planer blades and chisels. Can also be used in salons for keeping scissors in top notch cutting condition.

• Natural light oil extracted from camellia seeds.
