Micro Carving Tools: 4-Piece Palm Set for Whittling & Jewelry

Standard-sized chisels often fail when a project demands the surgical control required for anatomical figurines, intricate wooden jewelry, or high-definition linocut blocks. This 4-piece Professional Palm SET (Art. 504011) is engineered for "Micro-Carving"—where the distance between your hand and the cutting edge is minimized to provide maximum tactile feedback. The mushroom-shaped handles fit perfectly into the palm, allowing you to use hand-pressure for precise "push-cuts" and delicate engraving without the bulk of a full-length handle interfering with your vision or reach.

Workshop Logic

This set is curated as a "Finishing System" for micro-relief and whittling. In a real workshop workflow, you first establish the silhouette with a knife, then transition to these palm tools to "draw" in the wood. The 3mm Veiner (#9) and 45° V-Tool act as your pencils for deep shadow definition and outlining, while the #7 Sweep and Flat Chisel handle the surface modeling and background leveling. By utilizing a 140mm total tool size, STRYI provides a compact lever that eliminates the vibration of longer shanks, ensuring every microscopic cut is stable and intentional.

The “Pro-Steel” Advantage

• Hand-Forged W1-7 High-Carbon Steel: Every blade is forged by hand and subjected to our signature 11-stage tempering process. This creates a refined molecular structure that holds a "scary sharp" apex far longer than industrial mass-produced steel.

• 60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, these tools slice through abrasive hardwoods and industrial linoleum without frequent regrinding.

• 2mm Precision Thickness: This specific grade is critical for micro-carving. The 2mm profile reduces physical resistance as the tool "dives" into the grain, providing surgical control over depth and preventing grain crush.

• Oak Mushroom Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these ergonomic grips are designed to pivot in the palm, allowing for fluid directional changes during complex engraving or anatomical modeling.

• Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in our Ukrainian forge to professional studio standards, ensuring the metal’s hardening and geometry are audited before shipping.

• Ready-to-Carve Edge: Every tool is professionally honed and stropped to a mirror finish, capable of performing clean cross-grain cuts out of the box.

What’s in the Kit

• Palm Gouge Sweep #9, 3mm (Art. 130903): The micro-veiner. Essential for carving deep shadow lines, hair textures, and anatomical details in figurines where a larger gouge would be destructive.

• Palm V-Tool 45°, 5mm (Art. 134505): The primary outlining engine. Its tight 45-degree angle provides high-contrast borders and sharp, clean-walled channels for relief work and wood engraving.

• Palm Gouge Sweep #7, 5mm (Art. 130705): A versatile modeling tool. Perfect for shaping soft transitions, eyelids, and organic contours in micro-sculpture or jewelry.

• Palm Flat Chisel, 10mm (Art. 130010): The background specialist. Designed for leveling small areas, clearing waste between engraved lines, and smoothing vertical transitions in relief panels.

• Professional Canvas Roll-Case: An industrial-grade storage solution that protects your 60–62 HRC edges from mechanical damage and moisture between workshop sessions.

Complete Your Workshop

• STRYI Profiled Leather Strop : The only efficient way to maintain the specific radii of the #9 and #7 sweeps in this kit. Standard flat strops cannot reach the internal apex of micro-gouges, leading to rounded bevels and lost geometry.

• STRYI Premium 10x10cm European Lime (Basswood) Practice Board: The ideal high-resolution canvas for micro-relief and engraving. This hand-selected, knot-free 10x10x2cm board provides the consistent, buttery density needed to master surgical detail work without the unpredictability of wild grain. 

• STRYI 40mm Professional Detail & Whittling Knife: The essential mechanical partner for "external" architecture. While your palm tools handle the internal engraving and modeling, this 40mm blade provides the surgical tip control needed to shape the silhouette of figurines, toys, and jewelry.
