A rust eraser or “Sabitoru,” is a compact and effective tool, for safely removing surface rust from carbon steel knives, including traditional Japanese blades. It's designed to restore the appearance of your knife without damaging the blade.

High-carbon steel Japanese knives can develop surface rust if not dried properly or exposed to moisture. Made from a rubber-like abrasive material, the rust eraser lifts off rust without scratching or damaging the steel. It is much gentler than using sandpaper or metal polish. The small and easy to handle size makes it ideal for precision cleaning in tight spots or along the blade edge. It can be used dry for quick touch-ups, or with water for a smoother finish with less friction.

Made in Japan.

  1. Identify the Rusted Area: Locate the rust spots or discolouration on your blade.
  2. Wet the Blade (Optional): You can use the eraser dry or slightly dampen the blade for smoother cleaning.
  3. Rub Gently: Use the Rust Eraser to gently rub the rusted area in the direction of the blade. Apply light to moderate pressure.
  4. Wipe Clean: Once the rust is removed, rinse and dry the blade thoroughly. Wipe off any residue from the eraser.
  5. Oil if Needed: For carbon steel knives, consider applying a light coat of knife oil after cleaning to help prevent future rust.
