Tired of bulky tools bruising your wood or failing to navigate tight grain patterns? The STRYI Forged Sweep #5 is built for carvers who demand surgical maneuverability. Unlike standard clunky gouges, this specialized tool features a narrowed blade geometry and a slim 3mm profile, allowing you to dive deep into intricate relief work without the metal walls obstructing your path.
Razor-Sharp & Bench-Ready We don't believe in "project-ready" tools that require an hour of grinding. Every STRYI gouge is hand-forged and professionally honed. It arrives with a mirror-finish edge, ready to shave thin, clean curls off your workpiece the second it leaves the box.
Why Professional Carvers Choose STRYI:
High-Performance Geometry: The absence of a traditional bulky bevel combined with a tapered metal body provides unmatched clearance. This is the tool you reach for when you need to navigate delicate transitions in complex wood spirits or architectural relief.
Elite Edge Retention: Forged from W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to 60-62 HRC, this blade holds its "scary sharp" edge through hours of carving dense oak, walnut, or cherry.
Fine Control & Reach: The thin 3mm steel thickness reduces resistance, giving you a "connected" feel to the wood fibers for finishing cuts that require absolute precision.
Ergonomic Oak Handle: Finished with natural linseed oil, the handle provides a solid, slip-resistant grip that minimizes hand fatigue during long sessions at the bench.
Which Size Fits Your Project?
10mm (0.4"): The go-to for surgical precision. Ideal for tight facial features in figure carving, narrow veins, and cleaning up the finest details in deep relief.
15mm (0.6"): A specialized mid-range tool. Perfect for navigating small botanical elements and creating smooth transitions in tight grain areas.
20mm (0.8"): The versatile workhorse. Best for defining shapes, smoothing backgrounds, and general-purpose carving in medium-sized projects.
25mm (1.0"): Built for material removal. Use this for clearing waste wood efficiently and leveling large background surfaces without leaving deep ridges.
