Knife Pivot Lube Organic Camellia Oil by KPL for Cast Iron & Carbon Steel

Works great!

I'm using these for grooming scissors, and it works well. But it squirts out a lot at once and kind of gets all over.

I don't own but one high-carbon steel knife, and it does occasionally get used for food prep. I needed a way to maintain it, and when a search turned up that KPL had a food-safe oil engineered for carbon steel knives, I knew that would be the safest choice to go with as I've used their pivot oils for quite some time, and very much like using them on my knives. Nobody has gotten sick from any food prepared with this, it doesn't have much of a scent, and certainly has done its job protecting my knife. I don't necessarily live in a humid area, but rust gonna rust if you're not minding your gear. This is a fairly thick oil that likes to spread easily, so not much is generally needed. It also coats the blade quite nicely and stays there through storage or carry at any angle, it's not going to run or drop off even in the heat. Can't go wrong with KPL oils, I highly recommend them if you're looking to maintain your knives and extend their longevity.

I have a couple of carbon knives which are prone to rusting, so I purchased this knife oil to prevent it from happening. I sprayed a small amount on each side of the blades, removed any excess oil, and put the knives in a kitchen cabinet. After any use, I follow the same steps. After 3 years there isn't even a tiny amount of rust. I'm thrilled with this product. Also, it's a small bottle, but you don't need very much on each knife. I think this bottle will last for years.

Used exclusively on Japanese carbon knife blades - works great. Recommended.
