[SET] Carbon Steel Knife Care Kit

Traditional Japanese steels are a bit more high-maintenance and need more attention in care and cleaning, so we’ve put together a set of tools to help prevent rust on carbon steel knives. Our care kit contains everything you need in one bundle to keep your carbon steel knives in great condition: camellia oil, a leather polishing strop and a rust eraser. A must if your knife roll carries carbon steel knives!

• Camellia oil – Tsubaki 100ml
  Camellia oil – Tsubaki has been used for the protection of blades, tools, and weapons for centuries all over Japan. A few drops on a paper napkin or a kitchen towel is more than enough to apply a thin protective layer that will help to prevent surface oxidation and corrosion, especially after cutting acid-containing ingredients.
  Usage instructions: We recommend applying Camellia oil with a soft, clean cloth after every use to prevent rust and to protect the knife’s surface, especially if you live in a damp climate or close to the ocean. For rust-resistant knives (steels like ZDP-189, R2, VG-10) we recommend applying Camellia oil with a soft, clean cloth once or twice per month, depending on the usage. Before using your knife on food again, wash with water and rinse clean.
• SharpEdge Leather Razor Strop
  It can be used after sharpening to remove the burr, or you can wipe the knife on it after use and smoothen the sharpness of the cutting edge the same way as after sharpening.
• Sabitoru Rust Eraser
  It happens that you don’t wipe your knife well, and over time rust spots can develop. Simply “scrub” them away with the Sabitoru Rust Eraser and the knife will look as good as new. It can also be used to remove rust and stains from pans, stoves and even skis and snowboards.
