In high-end leatherwork, the quality of a project is defined by the cleanliness of the hide’s edge and the invisibility of the skived joints. This 3-piece STRYI Profi SET is engineered to handle the mechanical demands of leather—from the initial "rolling" breakdown of a hide to the surgical thinning required for flawless pocket and strap transitions. By utilizing a "dropped down" handle geometry and high-carbon tempered steel, this set eliminates common friction points like grain distortion and drag, ensuring your cuts remain surgical even on the most temperamental, thin leathers.

Workshop Logic

This set is curated as a "Full-Cycle Cutting System." In a professional leathercraft workflow, you require three distinct mechanical actions. The Head Knife is your primary engine, designed for long, rolling cuts that use the weight of your hand to slice without pulling the hide. The 50mm Skiving Knife is the specialist for thinning edges (skiving) to ensure that when two pieces of leather overlap, they maintain the thickness of a single layer. Finally, the Double-Sided Knife provides the precision needed for finished edges in a single pass, acting as the surgical finisher for your project's architecture.

The “Pro-Steel” Advantage

  • Hand-Forged Tempered Steel: Every blade is forged to maintain a refined molecular structure, supporting a razor-sharp apex that survives the abrasive nature of tanned leathers.

  • 58–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, these tools offer elite edge retention, allowing you to complete extensive projects with minimal downtime for sharpening.

  • Drag-Free Geometry: The blade profiles and handle angles are specifically calibrated to facilitate a "dropped down" hand position. This minimizes physical drag and prevents thin leathers from bunching or distorting during a cut.

  • Ergonomic Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, the handles provide a secure, non-slip grip that ensures total control during high-pressure skiving passes.

  • Burnishing Capability: The Head Knife is designed with versatility in mind; the steel is tempered to withstand moderate heating, allowing it to be used for burnishing and strengthening edges for a professional, sealed finish.

  • Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in our Ukrainian forge, ensuring professional-grade metallurgy and direct accountability for every blade in the set.

What’s in the Kit

  • STRYI Profi Leather Head Knife: The versatile heart of the workshop. Its slightly rounded blade allows for a rolling motion that significantly improves cutting efficiency. When heated, it becomes a specialized tool for edge burnishing and decorative line work.

  • 50mm STRYI Profi Skiving Knife: The thinning specialist. With a 50mm width, it provides a stable platform for angled skiving, allowing you to feather leather edges for flawless, bulk-free joints and seams.

  • Double-Sided Knife for Thinning & Cutting: The efficiency specialist. Engineered to create smooth, finished edges in a single pass, this tool is optimized for precision cutting where both sides of the blade are utilized for maximum versatility.

Complete Your Workshop

  • STRYI Dual-Sided Professional Leather Strop: The non-negotiable maintenance tool for 1.6mm blades. Leather is an abrasive medium that microscopicallly dulls a razor edge with every foot of travel. This handcrafted, dual-sided strop allows you to recover a mirror-polished apex in seconds without removing significant metal.

  • STRYI Professional Japanese-Style Skiving Knife: A specialized technical expansion for flat-paring and T-skiving. While the Half-Moon handles curves, this straight-beveled Japanese-style blade is the industry standard for thinning down the ends of straps or flattening large surface areas of a hide. 

  • STRYI 3-Piece Leatherworking "Mastery" SET: The foundational mechanical system for high-end leathercraft. This set establishes your workshop’s primary cutting capacity, combining the rocking power of the Half-Moon with the precision of the Double-Blade and Skiving knives.

I've used a variety of knives, including those mentioned most by seasoned carvers; in my opinion, this ranks up there with those. It came sharp, and it strops up easily. I've enjoyed carving with this knife.

This is a great tool and is very well made. Arrived super sharp and highly polished. It cuts very well and very smoothly. It took about a 3 week to arrive to Alberta, Canada, but for the price it was well worth the wait. Thanks!
