STRYI Profi Skew Chip Carving Knife 30mm (Flag Knife): Precision Tool for Geometric Patterns and Sharp Borders

The STRYI Profi Skew Chip Carving Knife (Art. 390030), also known as a Flag Knife for its distinctive blade shape, is a specialized professional tool designed for geometric carving. Its angled cutting edge makes clean vertical incisions and precise diagonal undercuts in geometric patterns. It is the perfect choice for rosettes and sharp-edged borders that call for crisp, snap-out chips.

Why Professionals Choose the STRYI Skew Knife:

Optimized Skew Angle for Chip Carving The 30mm (1.18") wide blade has a precise 70° skew angle that keeps your layout lines clearly visible. The flag geometry reaches into tight corners where a standard straight knife struggles, so every cut meets perfectly for a clean finish. The short 0.79" (20mm) blade keeps your hand close to the cutting edge for safe, controlled work.

Premium U8 High-Carbon Steel Geometric carving requires an edge that does not crumble under pressure. Made from U8 high-carbon tool steel with a 5/64" (2mm) metal thickness and hardened to a professional 58-62 HRC (Rockwell), this knife holds its sharpness through long sessions. It slices cleanly through basswood, butternut, and tougher hardwoods without tearing the grain. It arrives hand-sharpened and leather-stropped, ready to use out of the box.

Ergonomic Walnut Handle A steady grip makes consistent cuts. The 3.7" (95mm) handle is crafted from walnut and finished with natural linseed oil. Its ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the palm and gives the stability needed for both firm thumb-push cuts and delicate detailing.

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!
