Why You'll Love It
Trusted for Centuries
Camellia Oil has protected Japanese blades for generations and remains the preferred maintenance oil for many professional sharpeners and knife enthusiasts.
Prevents Rust and Corrosion
A thin coating helps protect steel from:
- humidity
- fingerprints
- moisture
- oxidation
Especially important for carbon steel knives, which naturally react to moisture.
Food Safe Formula
Unlike many general-purpose oils, Camellia Oil is:
- food safe
- non-toxic
- odourless
- tasteless
- resistant to going rancid
Perfect for kitchen knives that come into contact with food.
Easy to Apply
The bottle features a convenient nozzle with protective cap for controlled application.
Simply:
- Clean and dry the blade thoroughly.
- Apply a few drops of oil to each side.
- Spread evenly using a soft cloth or tissue.
- Store the knife as normal.
A light coating is all that's needed.
Why Carbon Steel Needs Protection
High-performance carbon steels such as Aogami and Shirogami offer incredible sharpness but naturally react with moisture and oxygen.
Applying Camellia Oil after cleaning helps:
- prevent rust
- preserve the blade finish
- reduce staining
- extend the life of your knife
It's one of the easiest maintenance habits you can develop.
