Description: 8oz HTG Traditional Choji Oils for Japanese Swords / Katana / Knife / Blade / Sword. Used since antiquity, this traditional Choji Oil is the go to choice for keeping blades corrosion free for lifetimes to come. This oil is perfect for anyone looking to maintain their Katana swords. Used the world over by collectors, practitioners, and also families who still pass their swords down through the generations. If all goes well in life, the #1 enemy of your blade is moisture. Choji oil will penetrate any and all microscopic crevices (yes your blade has them) pushing moisture out and preventing any moisture from coming in. Simply apply a thin coat to your blade with a soft cloth or rice paper after use, and you're done. While everyone has their own methods... most apply a coat after every use, and every 3-4 weeks of storage. Wipe once more before use to remove any excess oil which may be present. This is not modern industrialized machine oil, tool oil, or Tsubaki knife oil (Camellia Oil) you’ll find with most cleaning kits out there. Those oils will dry out your wood Saya over time, and they are not recommended for long term use. ...Sometimes the old ways are the best, and this is one of those times. In addition to applying choji oil, there are other steps you can take to preserve and protect your katana, including the following:Store the katana in a sheath with the blade's cutting edge facing upwardWash and dry hands before holding or using the katanaAvoid touching the blade with your bare hands or fingersMonitor and regulate the humidity of the environment in which your katana is stored Keep out of reach of ChildrenNot for internal use Ships USPS Ground Advantage We'll send it out the same or next business day (Sundays & Postal Holidays Excluded)
