The long bent gouge STRYI Profi Profile 7 (art.100725) — Relief and Bowl Carving Tool
The STRYI Profi Profile 7, 1.0 in (25mm) Bent Gouge is a specialized professional tool designed for reaching areas that standard straight chisels cannot. Its unique "long bent" curvature makes it the perfect choice for hollowing out deep bowls, ladles, and creating smooth transitions in high-relief woodcarving. Whether you are clearing background material or shaping organic curves, this gouge provides the clearance and control required for masterful execution.

Why Professionals Choose the STRYI Profile 7, 1.0 in (25mm) Bent Gouge:
Optimized Deep Reach Curvature The long bent design allows the handle to stay clear of the workpiece while the cutting edge works deep inside a hollow or recess. The Profile 7 offers a medium-depth curve, making it exceptionally versatile for both removing bulk material and refining the contours of sculptural forms.
Premium W1-7 High-Carbon Steel Durability is essential for heavy carving tasks. Forged from specialized W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to a professional 60-62 HRC (Rockwell), this gouge maintains its razor-sharp edge significantly longer than mass-market tools. It slices cleanly through both softwoods and the densest hardwoods like oak or walnut.
Ergonomic Oak Handle Control and comfort are paramount. The handle is hand-crafted from genuine oak and finished with natural linseed oil. Its robust design is built to withstand the pressure of deep carving while providing a warm, non-slip grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended sessions.
Ready to Use Out of the Box Every STRYI gouge arrives professionally hand-sharpened and leather-stropped by our master craftsmen. There is no initial grinding or honing required; you can begin your deep relief project the moment you unwrap your tool.
Built for Professional Performance
This long bent gouge is a lifelong investment in your craft. With its expert European tempering and heavy-duty construction, it offers the structural integrity needed for consistent, deep cuts without flexing, ensuring clean and predictable results every time.

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.
