Stop struggling with standard tools that hit the rim before you reach the bottom. The STRYI Long Reach Bent Gouge is purpose-built for those deep-seated projects where precision and clearance are non-negotiable. By combining an elongated forged neck with a rock-solid octagonal handle, this tool gives you the leverage to carve deep kuksas, large bowls, and complex relief sculptures with total confidence.
Performance Without the Prep
Why waste hours grinding factory edges? Every STRYI tool is hand-forged and professionally honed to a "scary sharp" finish before it ever reaches your workshop. Hardened to a precise 60-62 HRC, this high-carbon steel arrives ready to slice through stubborn hardwoods the second you unbox it.
Engineering for the Modern Artisan:
The Long-Neck Advantage: The extended steel geometry provides the critical clearance needed to navigate deep vessels. You can now maintain the perfect cutting angle at the base of a bowl without the handle obstructing your movement or damaging the rim.
Anti-Roll Octagonal Grip: The faceted oak handle isn’t just for looks—it’s a functional upgrade. The eight-sided design ensures a secure, ergonomic grip that won't twist during heavy material removal, and it stays exactly where you place it on your bench.
Fluid Hollowing: We’ve expertly rounded the outer bevels so the corners never dig in. This allows for smooth, sweeping transitions and a professional, ridge-free finish on the interior walls of your work.
Mallet-Ready Durability: Built to withstand the rigors of a professional workshop, the forged steel and oil-finished oak handle are designed for both delicate hand-shaving and controlled mallet strikes.
Select Your Blade:
10mm (0.4"): Ideal for intricate cleanup and fine detailing in deep, hard-to-reach areas of your carvings.
20mm (0.8"): The heavy hitter for rapid hollowing in full-sized kuksas, ladles, and sculptural bowls.
