Authentic Ukrainian Craftsmanship

Every chisel is a piece of art, crafted by skilled masters in Stryi, Ukraine, following generations of woodworking traditions.

Master-Grade Edge (60-62 HRC)

Hand-forged from W1-7 high-carbon steel. Each tool arrives razor-sharp and ready for professional use.

Level Up Skills

Whether you are introducing a child to their first creative hobby or you are a seasoned professional carving a masterpiece, STRYI tools provide the perfect balance of safety and precision.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Are STRYI tools ready to use out of the box?

Yes, absolutely. Every STRYI tool is professionally hand-sharpened and honed on a leather wheel before shipping. You can start carving the moment you receive your package.

What kind of steel are the tools made of?

We use high-quality high-carbon steel (W1-7), which is specifically chosen for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. The steel is heat-treated to a hardness of 60-62 HRC.

Can I use these tools for hardwoods like Oak or Walnut?

Yes. STRYI tools are designed to work effectively on both softwoods (like Basswood or Linden) and hardwoods (like Oak, Walnut, or Cherry)

How long does shipping take to the United States?

We ship directly from our workshop in Ukraine. Standard international shipping typically takes 10-14 business days. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched.

Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes for orders to the USA?

No, you don’t need to worry about any extra costs. Our company covers all customs duties and import taxes for orders shipped to the United States. The price you see at checkout is the final price you pay—no hidden fees or surprise charges upon delivery.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, we ship to most countries globally. Shipping costs and delivery times will be calculated at checkout based on your location.

How often do I need to re-sharpen the tools?

With regular stropping on a leather block with polishing paste, you won't need to re-sharpen for a long time. Only use sharpening stones if the edge becomes chipped or significantly dull.

Do you offer tools for children?


We have specialized sets for young carvers (ages 8+ recommended) that are used in carving schools. However, we always recommend adult supervision.
