90° Short Straight V-Parting Chisel | STRYI-AY 10mm Profi

Zero-Drift Detailing for Master-Level Facets

When you’re tracking a critical outline on a portrait or cutting precise facets in geometric chip carving, a full-sized tool can feel clumsy. The distance between your hand and the wood creates micro-vibrations that lead to slip-ups and grain tearout. This short-format 10mm straight V-tool brings your grip right down to the wood surface, working like an extension of your fingers to eliminate drift and ensure your junctions match perfectly every single time.

Why the STRYI-AY 10mm V-Tool Earns its Bench Space

• Scary Sharp Out of the Box: We focus our craft exactly where it counts—on the cutting edge. While the flats near the handle are left unpolished for a rugged workshop finish, the 90-degree apex is hand-honed to a mirror shine. It arrives bench-ready, slicing through dense walnut or soft pine without leaving fuzz or crushed corners.

• Legendary Edge Retention: Forged from industrial-grade W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to a stout 60-62 HRC, this blade keeps its crisp 90-degree profile cut after cut. It delivers the same predictable, long-lasting performance that professionals count on from benchmarks like Pfeil carving tools.

• The Adolph Yuryev Method Geometry: Designed explicitly to meet the standards of master carver Adolf Yuryev’s unique training program, this tool is built to break you out of conventional design limitations. The 160mm total length combined with an ergonomic oak handle gives you the perfect physical platform to elevate your technique beyond standard patterns.

Project & Size Guide

• The 10mm Width: The ideal mid-sized workhorse for volumetric chip carving and detail-heavy relief carving. It is wide enough to clear distinct V-grooves in a single pass, yet compact enough to map out delicate facial anatomy, "ditches" on caricature faces, and clean textile textures.

Complete Your Toolkit

To unlock the full potential of the Adolf Yuryev short-tool system, consider anchoring your setup with these:

1. AY Profi Short Semicircular Gouge: The logical companion for clearing waste and shaping fluid, radiused hollows around your sharp V-tool outlines.

2. 30mm Swallowtail Chip Carving Knife: Crucial for executing the clean, vertical stop-cuts that boundary your geometric facets.

3. STRYI Profile Leather Strop: The absolute best way to maintain the interior and exterior alignment of a 90° angle without rounding the crisp cutting edge.
