KUROBARA 100% Pure Tsubaki Japanese Cutlery Knife Maintenance Camellia Oil (8.3 oz) Dispenser

Amazing product and well worth the purchase price. Currently being used in a variety of ways. But it really showed its class when applied to a paper shredder. Made it smoother and quieter when it’s in use.Quality of the oil - extremely goodSize - okay. Wish it were a little largerStickiness - does not stick too much the surface it is applied to but coats it wellSprayer - would have like a straw like on a WD40 can for precision spraying. Otherwise be careful it will spray it a wide areaYou generally get what you pay for. It’s made in Japan and top notch. Yes it’s a bit more money but the quality of the product is very evident when you use it.

Works really well on pocket knife pivot points and handgun lubrication spots. Not smelly or messy as petro based products.

This is a high quality oil for high carbon steel Japanese knives keeps them looking great and keeps them from rusting in storage

I use them to oil my hair cutting shears. Works great

I am a woodworker who uses both modern and antique tools, many of which are made from iron. I was introduced to camellia oil by another woodworker who swears by it. He was not wrong. As a rust prevention tool and light lubricant this stuff can't be beaten. I use it to protect my bandsaw table and tablesaw, and use it on all of my metal tools, including some vintage cast iron Stanley hand planes from the 40's. It has been tremendous. I've also started using this to 'wax' my jointer to ensure smooth progress and it has far outperformed my old wax treatments. Highly recommended.

I recently started bonsai as a hobby. I love it but find that there aren’t many places to find info on care of tools. The tools can run expensive and if not cared for properly - will rust and get all sticky. I looked for and failed to find someone with a good combo set of care needs and instructions. I had to figure it out. Not even beginner sets had care of tools items or instructions. Please folks- get your act together and put out a good set of care of items and include good instruction. That said- this oil worked very well to clean my bonsai scizzors ( despite lack of instructions) and while I’m not sure if I did it correctly, I believe it is at least an adequate job. I’m not sure if the scizzors should be stored in an oiled cloth like chef tools or not but since I couldn’t find anything - they’re wrapped in a dry cloth to keep them clean. I would love to see information on care of the scizzors ( they arrived in a small box with nothing) and don’t understand why it’s so hard to find This is a niche that I haven’t seen filled. Please do so!

Perfect for protection of my hi carbon knives.

I mis it with some mineral oil to use as a lubricant for sharpening. Works great. I had to replace a previous petroleum-based lubricant because the smell was killing me. This has no discernible smell. Also, it does leave a nice thin protective layer on the knife as others have stated. The spray nozzle was useless to me, but I pour it in another container for use.
