Moving from simple spoon carving to deep vessels like kuksas and bowls requires a fundamental shift in tool geometry. This 2-piece professional set is specifically curated to handle the technical workflow of hollow-form carving. By combining two specialized hook knives of different sizes, this kit provides the precise mechanical clearance needed to navigate both wide profiles and steep internal walls. It ensures you can transition from rough shaping to a burnished, tool-smooth finish within a single system.
Workshop Logic The curation of this set solves the primary challenge of deep-vessel work: scaling your tool to the depth of the cut. Instead of forcing a single blade to do all the work, this dual-size system allows you to adapt instantly. The larger hook knife acts as your primary excavation engine for fast stock removal, while the smaller knife serves as the finishing specialist, navigating tighter radii, smoothing internal transitions, and refining details near the rim without interference.
The “Pro-Steel” Advantage
Hand-Forged High-Carbon Steel: Every blade is forged by hand and subjected to our signature 11-stage tempering process, creating a refined molecular structure for elite performance.
60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, these tools maintain a "scary sharp" edge even when clearing heavy waste in dense hardwoods like oak, walnut, or cherry.
Stable Geometry: Our specialized steel thickness provides critical rigidity and vibration damping. This ensures a stable cutting edge and cleaner cuts during high-pressure hollowing, allowing for a creative flow without tearing the wood.
Ergonomic Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these handles are ergonomically shaped for long carving sessions, offering superior tool feedback and a secure, non-slip grip.
Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in our Ukrainian forge and shipped directly to ensure every edge meets professional workshop standards.
Razor Sharp Out of the Box: Each tool is hand-sharpened and professionally stropped. No initial grinding is required—you can move directly from the box to the workbench.
What’s in the Kit / Variations: Choose the ideal blade combination for your workshop:
Set 35mm + 25mm Combo: Features a heavy-duty 35mm hook knife designed for deep, fast hollowing of larger spoons, ladles, and medium bowls, perfectly paired with a 25mm knife for tight inner curves and finishing.
Set 25mm + 20mm Combo: The classic everyday combination. The 25mm blade handles standard eating spoons and master-level shaping, while the 20mm blade provides unmatched control for intricate detailing and delicate hollows.
Care & Maintenance: To keep your high-carbon steel tools in pristine condition, always wipe the blade clean and dry after use. Apply a thin layer of tool oil to protect the steel from moisture and humidity. Strop regularly to maintain that out-of-the-box cutting edge.
