Choji Oil

Care & Feeding of your Badger Blade

We are of the opinion that a sword should be a lifetime, even a generational, investment. Maintaining a regular, light coat of oil and wiping off of fingerprints from the blade should keep it rust free. If your sword sees a mantle more than a scabbard, take it down and oil it at least once every few months. Dry environments will allow some leeway in this, moister climates may require more frequent care. We recommend Choji Oil; It's the same formula the Japanese have used for hundreds of years and there's very good reason for this.

Choji washes out of clothing easily, and smells pleasant; if you've ever been in our booth or tent at a Ren Faire, that's where the distinct scent of our booth comes from. It's very affordable and well worth the investment. When oiling your sword, you only need as squirt or two of Choji on a rag to wipe the blade with. You should have just enough oil on the blade to where you can see or feel that's just slightly wet.

With proper care and feeding your Badger Blade should outlast you. Just a few minutes every week or two will ensure your blade stays in excellent shape for many years to come. See more info on our Sword Care & Feeding page.
