From Smithey: Handcrafted and branded with the Smithey logo over high-grade oil-tanned leather, this skillet sleeve is one of our favorite tools. Available in two sizes, the standard-fit slides perfectly over the handle of the No. 10 and No. 12 while the extended fit is designed to give more protection on our No. 8 Chef Skillet handle. Like cast iron, these sleeves get better with time and use.

• Extended: 6” x 2” (Fits 8” & 10” Chef Skillets + 12" Flat Top)

• Kevlar Heat Resistant Thread

A thoughtfully formulated blend of oils and infused with beeswax, Smithey's seasoning oil is formulated to keep your cast iron and carbon steel cookware in top shape. Use to protect your cast iron and carbon steel and apply sparingly to mature a naturally non-stick seasoning layer on your cookware. Made of grapeseed oil, beeswax, and sunflower oil.

To use, apply thin layer with paper towel.

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.
