Tsubaki Oil (Camelia Oil) | 245mL Spray Bottle

The Essential Oil for Japanese Knife Care

Tsubaki oil — pressed from the seeds of the Japanese camellia flower (Camellia japonica) — has been used for centuries to protect and preserve fine Japanese knives. Lightweight, odorless, and food-safe, it forms a thin protective barrier on the blade that guards against rust, oxidation, and moisture damage without affecting the flavor of your food.

• 245mL of pure camellia (tsubaki) oil
• Convenient spray bottle for even, controlled application
• Food-safe formula — no additives or synthetic compounds

How to Use

1. After washing and thoroughly drying your knife, hold the blade over a clean surface.
2. Give the spray bottle a quick spritz along the length of the blade — one or two passes is all you need.
3. Use a soft cloth or paper towel to spread the oil evenly across both sides of the blade, including the spine.
4. Wipe away any excess so only a thin, barely-there film remains.

Apply after each use for carbon steel knives, or before long-term storage for any knife in your collection.

Care & Storage

• Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Keep the nozzle clean and capped between uses to prevent clogging.
