Why Professionals Choose Yoshihiro Tsubaki Oil
Professional kitchens and knife enthusiasts understand that proper maintenance extends the life of premium blades. Carbon steel offers exceptional cutting performance but requires regular protection against humidity and oxidation. Yoshihiro's pure Tsubaki oil has long been used in Japan as a preferred maintenance solution because it forms a light, consistent protective layer without becoming sticky or heavy over time.
Combined with the included Sabitori rust eraser and microfiber cloth, this maintenance kit provides everything needed for routine blade care, helping preserve sharpness, appearance, and long term performance for valuable Japanese knives.
Care & Maintenance
Clean and thoroughly dry the blade before application. Apply a small amount of Tsubaki oil to the included microfiber cloth and spread a thin, even layer across the blade surface. Reapply after washing or before extended storage, particularly when caring for carbon steel knives. Use the included Sabitori rust eraser only to gently remove light surface oxidation before reapplying the protective oil. Store the bottle in a cool, dry location with the cap securely closed.
