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 long-handle chisels often lack the tactile feedback required for high-stakes detailing on figurines or delicate linocut blocks. This 5-piece Professional Palm SET is engineered for artisans who need to bridge the gap between rough shaping and anatomical perfection. The mushroom-shaped handles transfer pressure directly from the palm to the cutting edge, providing the surgical control necessary for carving expressive facial features, fine animal textures, and complex textile printing patterns.
Workshop Logic
The curation of this set focuses on "Micro-Modeling." In figurine and relief work, the most difficult stage is navigating the small radii of faces, limbs, and intricate ornaments. By utilizing a 40mm blade length combined with an ergonomic mushroom grip, these tools allow you to perform high-pressure push cuts with millimetric accuracy. The inclusion of the #9 bent gouge is a professional mechanical advantage, allowing you to hollow out tight recesses where a straight shank would bottom out. Whether you are clearing waste from a linoleum block or defining the muscle structure of a wood sculpture, this set provides a complete system for high-resolution detail.
The “Pro-Steel” Advantage
-
Hand-Forged W1-7 High-Carbon Steel: Every blade is hand-forged and subjected to an 11-stage tempering process to ensure a refined molecular structure capable of holding a "scary sharp" edge.
-
60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, ensuring these fine edges maintain their apex through dense hardwoods and industrial linoleum without frequent regrinding.
-
2mm Metal Thickness: Specifically engineered for palm tools to provide a low-profile "dive" into the material while maintaining the rigidity required for stable edge geometry.
-
Mushroom-Formed Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these ergonomic grips provide maximum leverage and a secure, non-slip pivot point for complex detailing.
-
Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in our Ukrainian forge to ensure every tool meets rigorous workshop standards for immediate, out-of-the-box performance.
-
Universal Sharpness: Professionally honed and stropped to slice through both hardwoods (White Oak, Walnut) and softwoods (Basswood, Lime) with zero fiber tearing.

What’s in the Kit
-
Palm V-Tool 45°, 3mm (Art. 134503): The primary tool for surgical outlining, facial features, and high-contrast textures like hair or fur. Its tight angle ensures deep shadow definition in micro-reliefs.

-
Palm Bent Gouge Sweep #9, 5mm (Art. 140905): A specialist tool with an extended curve, essential for hollowing out tight recesses and concave areas where a straight handle would interfere with the workpiece.
-
Palm Gouge Sweep #9, 3mm (Art. 130903): A micro-veiner designed for the finest details, deep shadow accents, and defining small-scale structural lines.
-
Deluxe Natural Wood Storage Box: Provides industrial-grade protection for your edges, preventing mechanical damage and moisture exposure between carving sessions.
Complete Your Workshop
- STRYI Premium Basswood Carving Blanks: The essential canvas for practicing figurine and relief techniques. Hand-selected, knot-free European lime wood provides the consistent density needed to master the high-precision "dive" of these palm tools.
- STRYI Profiled Leather Strop : The most efficient way to maintain the 5 distinct geometries in this set. Contoured grooves match the radii of your gouges and V-tool for fast, mirror-like polishing and immediate edge recovery.
- STRYI 3-Piece Professional Whittling SET: The essential partner for external figurine architecture. Palm tools are designed for "internal" detail and concave patterns; these knives handle the "external" silhouette.

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.
