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 Gouge Sweep #8, 10mm (Art. 130810): A medium-deep sweep for establishing structural curves and clearing waste in small concave areas of a figurine or block.

  • Palm Gouge Sweep #7, 5mm (Art. 130705): Perfect for transitional modeling and smoothing out slopes in delicate relief work.

  • 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.

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!
