Tsubaki (Camellia Oleifera) Oil is an Omega-9-containing natural oil virgin-pressed from the seeds of the oil-seed camellia. Camellia oil is traditionally favored in Japan for preservation of fine tools, swords and cutlery.

Camellia Oil is universally considered the premium option for protecting high-end carbon-steel kitchen knives, swords, and cast iron cookware. 

Camellia is preferred due to its imparting no taste to foods, while also displacing moisture, forming an oxygen barrier and preventing rust and pitting.

To use, spray oil on knife surface, then wipe gently leaving a thin film of oil on all metal surfaces.

Apply immediately after each use of carbon steel knife or cookwear and after exposure to water, foods or humidity.

Ruby ★★★★★

First soak on my old carbon steel knife and the blade has that deep, even patina I’d been chasing—the oil is thin enough to spread with one finger but doesn’t drip everywhere. Two weeks of daily use and no rust spots, even after I forgot to wipe it dry once.

Riley U. ★★★★★

The bottle arrived quickly and the oil itself is silky, not greasy at all when I rub it on my carbon steel knife after each wash. It's been three weeks and not a single spot of rust, which my old mineral oil never managed to prevent.

Ellie L. ★★★★☆

The little pour spout makes it easy to coat my carbon steel wok without making a mess, and it keeps rust at bay even after a few washes. Only wish the bottle were bigger for the price, but a little really does go a long way.
