Niwaki Camellia Oil - Japanese Tool Oil

Niwaki Camellia oil is the Japanese secret to protecting your garden tools against rust.
Made from cold-pressed seeds of the Camellia oleifera plant (related to the tea bush) and enhanced with a touch of mineral oil, this natural oil creates a thin, protective layer that keeps your scissors and knives shiny – without feeling greasy.

It's odorless, non-toxic, and non-flammable , so it's completely safe for everyday use, even on kitchen utensils. (But no, not for drinking 😉)

Use the oil after cleaning your tools – preferably with the Niwaki Clean Mate – to keep your tools in top condition for years to come.

🌿 Why I'm a fan

I use this oil on all my Niwaki scissors and knives. After one coat, they feel like they're fresh out of the box: supple, shiny, and protected against rust.
And a bonus point: it doesn't smell of anything – ideal for those who prefer not to have chemical odors in their workspace.

🧴 Use

How to get the most out of your Camellia oil:

1. Remove dirt, resin and rust with a Clean Mate .

3. Apply a thin layer of oil with a soft cloth

Garden gnome tip: also use this oil to nourish wooden handles – they will stay nice and smooth.
