Patrick Joseph – Camellia Knife Oil (SKU: PJHMKO-111)

Natural Protection for Blades and Handles Alike
This pure Camellia Knife Oil by Patrick Joseph is an essential companion for preserving the beauty and performance of your blades. Derived from the seed of the Camellia plant, it is a traditional Japanese oil used by bladesmiths and collectors for centuries to prevent corrosion, maintain wooden handles, and enhance longevity. Whether caring for high-carbon steel, San Mai Damascus, or exotic hardwood handles, this oil provides a light, breathable layer that protects without altering texture or tone.

Protects Steel – Prevents Oxidation and Surface Rust
Applied directly to high-carbon or Damascus blades, Camellia oil creates a non-stick, protective film that prevents rust from forming — particularly in humid environments or after rinsing. It is food-safe, odourless, and colourless, making it ideal for kitchen knives used on a daily basis.

Nourishes Wooden Handles – Guards Against Drying and Cracking
Used on knife handles made from natural wood, Camellia oil penetrates the surface without over-saturating, helping to condition the grain, reduce dryness, and maintain natural lustre. Especially effective on Wa-style junctions where wood meets tang, it helps seal vulnerable points against moisture ingress and material movement over time.
