Camellia oil Tsubake 100mm
Camellia oil has been used throughout Japan for centuries as a preservative for all kinds of blades, tools, weapons, and other items prone to rust. This cold-pressed oil obtained from the seeds of sweet camellia (lat. Camellia Sinensis) is the best for maintaining and protecting knives from changes that can occur and damage the blade, especially with knives made of carbon steel. That is why it is necessary to coat the knife with this oil from time to time.
Unlike other vegetable oils, camellia oil - Tsubaki does not contain acids, has no smell and taste, is edible and stays fresh on the knife for a long time after application.
Use: for carbon steel knives, it is recommended to apply after each use, especially when you do not plan to use the knife for a long time. The oil is applied by dropping a few drops on the blade and then spreading it over the entire surface of the blade with a napkin or cloth.
Everything you need to know about sharpening
How to choose the first Japanese knife?
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Japanese knife as a perfect gift
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
