Tsubaki is a high quality Japanese camellia oil with a wide array of uses. In the kitchen, they are commonly used on carbon steel knives to slow down the development of patina and rust. During the humid summer months, those who plan on storing their knives away for an extended period of time (e.g. on a vacation) can also benefit from applying some tsubaki oil to their blades. Furthermore, the oil can also be used to maintain wooden cutting boards and prevent them from cracking in the dry winter months. 

In addition, it can be used as a lubricant for a variety of tools ranging from gardening scissors to sewing machines to woodworking tools. A few drops of oil for each use is sufficient, and make sure the surface of the object is clean before adding it. Tsubaki oil does not go rancid and is food safe, making it a truly versatile tool in any home or professional kitchen.
