Precision Engineering for Master Woodcarvers
The STRYI Profi 58mm Sloyd Knife is engineered specifically for artisans who demand absolute control during rough shaping, whittling, and detailed figure carving. Designed to seamlessly transition from establishing the foundational geometry of figurines and caricatures to refining the contours of spoons and kuksas, this tool delivers the tactile feedback required for clean cuts. Whether used independently or paired with palm chisels, it transforms demanding carving processes into a disciplined, fluid workflow.

Why Professionals Choose the STRYI Profi Whittling Knife:
- Designed for Every Hand (Ages 8 to Pro) The specialized anatomy of the knife balances safety with professional capability. Its structural layout minimizes the learning curve for aspiring creators and young students learning proper cutting techniques under supervision, while providing the exact geometric feedback and torque required by seasoned professionals for intensive carving.
- Premium W1-7 High-Carbon Steel Forged from specialized European high-carbon steel and hardened to a professional 60-62 HRC (Rockwell), the 2mm thick blade exhibits elite edge retention. The double bevel sharpening profile allows the steel to shear through both softwoods and dense hardwoods like oak or walnut with minimal resistance, eliminating blade deflection.
- Ergonomic Oiled Oak Handle Long carving sessions require structural comfort. Crafted from genuine oak wood and sealed with natural linseed oil, the handle is contoured to match the natural position of the hand during both pulling and pushing strokes, drastically reducing palm fatigue and preventing friction blisters.
- Ready to Use Out of the Box We eliminate preparation downtime. Every STRYI sloyd knife is professionally hand-sharpened and leather-stropped at the factory before sealing. It arrives at your workshop with an extra-sharp edge, allowing you to begin processing wood the moment you open the package.
Performance and Durability
This whittling knife is a lifelong investment engineered to serve as a dependable workhorse in your workshop. Featuring a 2.28-inch (58mm) cutting edge and an overall tool length of 7.87 inches (200mm), its proportions yield optimal leverage for heavy stock removal while maintaining absolute stability for fine micro-cuts.

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.
