Mastering geometric chip carving requires a unique combination of extreme edge sharpness and surgical tool control. This 4-piece professional set is part of our exclusive author line, developed in collaboration with master carver Adolf Yurev. Unlike standard long-bladed knives, these tools feature a specialized short-blade geometry designed for the Yurev technique of volumetric carving. This design places your hand closer to the wood, providing the leverage and safety necessary for the high-pressure stop cuts and precise incisions required to create intricate triangles and rhombic patterns.
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 capable of holding a "scary sharp" edge for clean, fiber-free facets.
60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, ensuring these tools maintain their razor edge through hundreds of repetitive cuts in both soft and hardwoods.
Precision 2mm Thickness: Optimized for chip carving, the 2mm thickness reduces resistance during deep incisions, allowing the blade to glide through the wood without wedging or splitting the grain.
European Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these compact handles are designed for a "pencil-grip" or "palm-grip" style, offering maximum tactile feedback and maneuverability.
Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in Ukraine at our professional forge to ensure every tool meets the strict technical requirements of master carver Adolf Yurev.
Swallowtail Knife 25mm: The primary tool for delicate detailing. Its specific angle is engineered for making short, vertical incisions and clearing the smallest chips in complex geometric clusters.
Swallowtail Knife 30mm: The workhorse for establishing larger geometric grids. This knife allows you to execute straight, deep cuts to create perfect triangles and rhombuses in three efficient steps.
U-Gouge: A specialized profile for making clean, semicircular cuts. When combined with the swallowtail knives, it allows you to create curved accents and "petals" within your patterns.
V-Tool: Engineered for carving crisp, consistent V-shaped grooves. Essential for outlining your design, adding shadow lines, and creating the high-contrast boundaries that make chip carving visually striking.
STRYI Basswood Practice Board (Chip Patterns): The most efficient way to master the Adolf Yurev volumetric technique. This board features pre-marked geometric patterns on premium, knot-free lime wood.
STRYI Profiled Leather Strop : Professional-grade maintenance for the specialized geometries in this kit. The flat leather sections are engineered for honing the swallowtail knives, while the contoured grooves perfectly match the radii of your U-gouge and V-tool.
STRYI 4-Piece Beginner Woodworking Knife SET: The ultimate expansion for broader workshop versatility. While your chip carving set handles geometry, this kit provides the essential whittling and detail knives needed for external silhouette shaping and deep marking cuts.

A beautiful knife that arrived razor sharp and ready to go. I have found my new favourite knife. It makes such fine cuts and can also be used almost like a plane. All round buy this knife, you won't be disappointed

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.
Todd M.
What a great knife for detailing. Sharpened at the right angle and I can get into small spaces with no problem.

I only purchase tools as I identify a specific needs for my woodworking and sculpting. The V gouge I got from you is a pleasure to use and works exactly as I hoped. Beautiful tool.

Stryi carving tools are excellent! Hold an edge extremely well and are a more quality knife then some of the competitors. TINY CARVING

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!
