The Spoon knife STRYI Profi 80mm Hook Knife Set (Left & Right)

Mastering large-scale woodcraft requires tools that can move significant amounts of material without sacrificing surface quality. The STRYI Profi 80mm Hook Knife Duo is engineered specifically for craftsmen tackling substantial projects like deep dough bowls, large serving ladles, and wide timber basins. With this wide-arc left and right-handed pair, you move beyond mere carving into architectural hollowing, maintaining total control over massive workpieces.

Workshop Logic

When hollowing large-scale vessels, a standard small-diameter hook knife forces a "choppy" workflow that creates uneven surfaces and demands hours of corrective sanding. The 80mm radius is the professional solution for establishing gentle, architectural slopes and consistent transitions in wide timber basins or dough bowls. Because large workpieces present massive grain transitions, a single-sided tool is a mechanical liability. This dual-knife system provides total directional freedom, allowing you to switch between "push" and "pull" mechanics to always maintain a "downhill" cut relative to the grain. This eliminates deep fiber tearing and ensures a burnished, level finish across the entire internal surface of high-volume projects.

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, ensuring a refined molecular structure for professional edge retention.

• 60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, these massive blades maintain a razor-sharp edge even when clearing heavy volumes of dense hardwood.

• Industrial 3mm Steel Thickness: For a blade with an 80mm arc, rigidity is critical. Our 3mm professional-grade steel prevents tool "flex" or chatter during heavy material removal, providing a stable, predictable cut.

• Robust European Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these handles are sized to provide the leverage needed for high-pressure hollowing while offering a premium, non-slip grip.

• Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in our Ukrainian forge and shipped directly to ensure every tool meets rigorous workshop standards.

What’s in the Kit

• 80mm Right-Handed Hook Knife: Optimized for aggressive clearing and long, sweeping pull-cuts. The wide radius is perfectly tuned for creating the primary slopes of large bowls and platters.

• 80mm Left-Handed Hook Knife: The essential counterpart for bidirectional flow. Switch to this tool to manage grain changes or to perform push-cuts, ensuring a mirror-smooth finish across the entire internal surface of your project.

Complete Your Workshop

• STRYI Profiled Leather Strop : The most efficient way to maintain the specialized pointed geometry of this set. The contoured grooves match the radii of your hook knives for fast, professional-grade polishing.

• STRYI Basswood Spoon Blank: Skip the heavy prep work and move directly to detailing. These knot-free, soft-grain lime wood blanks are the perfect canvas for practicing the complex hollowing techniques enabled by this pointed set.

• STRYI Professional Marking & Detail Knife: Essential for the initial layout phase. Use this to make deep vertical stop-cuts and define your borders before moving in with the hook knives for internal hollowing.
