How do you clean your oxidation spots?

Others on the forum have also recommended Vasoline or Carmex for rust prone steels. Both are food safe and both will stay put on your blade.

Vasoline is edible?

No thanks!

People often put it on their lips, so it is safe in that regard. I would not replace peanut butter with it however! :D

Flitz here if it’s early and light rust. I don’t remove patina if I can help it though.

For prevention, I use tsubaki/camellia oil since I already had a big bottle of it for my kitchen knives and I have had excellent results with it.

Great stuff, fixall ... always have a bottle handy!

It doesn’t go rancid and it’s lovely on your skin. A bit like coconut oil but lighter and without a fragrance. :)

We use the same brand! :D

Really great stuff. I live in the same city as Bob Kramer (Master Bladesmith) and I took a tour of his shop and he suggested I use it on my kitchen knives and I haven’t looked back. :)

Other than Japan, where do I find this stuff?

The Burrfection store (a YouTube kitchen knife reviewer) has it for a reasonable price.

Most online Japanese kitchen knife stores carry it, as does Amazon (although I’d probably go there as a last resort).
