Care Advisement: Semi-Stainless

This blade is semi-stainless steel. It has better rust-resistance than standard carbon steel, but it is not completely stainless. Care must still be taken to keep the blade dry when not in use. Wipe dry after each use and ideally between preparing different products, especially when using acidic and salty products. A patina will form over time helping increase stain resistance slightly. Hand wash and dry only. Store away from liquids and open windows. Keep the blade covered when storing or traveling. Use only on appropriate cutting surfaces such as soft woods and plastics.

This Aburatsubo is a modern interpretation of a traditional japanese oil applicator. Traditionally, the Aburatsubo consisted of cotton wadding, soaked in Tsubaki oil, contained within a bamboo pot. Tools were dipped into the cotton wadding while working, or pieces of wadding were taken between the fingers to apply oil to larger tools. The modern version is much the same, but with the addition of a wick in the cap to apply oil without needing to oil ones fingers. 

Tsubaki oil, also known as camelia oil, is both highly stable and food safe. It is ideal for use on carbon steel knives to prevent corrosion. You may be sparing with it, as not much is needed to create a working protective layer. Too much oil on the surface can attract dirt and particulate.

Care Advisement: Stainless

This blade is stainless steel. While it is resistant to stains and corrosion, “stain-less” does not mean “stain-proof.” Care must still be taken to keep the blade dry when not in use. Wipe dry after each use and ideally between preparing different products, especially when using acidic and salty products. Hand wash and dry only. Store away from liquids and open windows. Keep the blade covered when storing or traveling. Use only on appropriate cutting surfaces such as softer woods and plastic.
