Camelia Oil

Japanese craftsmen have used Camelia oil for generations as an effective rust inhibitor. It can also be used as a liquid lubricant when sharpening tools and knives. High quality cutting tools such as secateurs, loppers, hedge shears and pruning saws use high carbon steel in the blades which provides a sharp, durable edge and enables easy sharpening, but being high carbon steel does make them more prone to surface rust (unlike stainless steel).

Camellia Oil is a natural oil made from the seeds of an evergreen plant in the camellia genus. The seeds are cultivated in Japan and pressed to produce the camellia oil. The oil is very light and unlike other natural oils, it's unlikely to dry and gum up.

Made in Japan, the Camellia oil is bottled in a 245ml spray applicator. An economical long-lasting product for your tool kit, as only a spray or two is needed per use. Can also be applied to stainless steel tools to help maintain the smooth action of the tool.
