There is a specific kind of satisfaction that comes from a tool that "bites" exactly where you want it to, slicing through the wood grain with zero tear-out. This 12-piece set is our global flagship for relief carving, designed to take a project from a rough blank to a museum-quality wall panel or ornate furniture decorative.

The Curation Logic

This wood carving kit was curated to solve the "missing sweep" dilemma. By balancing essential flat chisels with various gouge radii—including specialized long and short bent tools—we’ve ensured you can navigate deep recesses and tight undercuts that standard straight chisels simply can’t reach.

The "Pro-Steel" Advantage

  • Hand-Forged W1-7 Steel: Every blade undergoes a rigorous 11-stage tempering process, resulting in a tool that maintains its razor edge even through the most stubborn hardwoods.

  • Optimal 60-62 HRC: We hit the metallurgical "sweet spot"—hard enough to hold a scary sharp edge for hours, yet resilient enough to avoid the brittleness common in mass-market sets.

  • Octagonal Ergonomics: Our signature European Oak handles aren't just for show; the octagonal profile provides superior tactile feedback and prevents the tool from rolling off your workbench.

  • Extended Reach: With a 12cm blade length, these tools offer the leverage needed for deep relief work and the finesse required for cleaning up CNC-machined surfaces.

What’s in the Kit

This comprehensive woodcarving tool set provides the full spectrum of geometry needed for professional-grade work:

  • The Foundational Flats: Sweep #1 (5mm & 15mm) for clearing waste and creating flat reference planes.

  • The Shaping Gouges: A progression of Sweep #5 (10mm, 20mm), Sweep #7 (5mm, 15mm), and Sweep #8 (10mm) for creating rolling contours and organic textures.

  • Detailing Specialists: Sweep #9 (3mm, 10mm) for deep veins and fine-line detailing.

  • Structural Definition: A 60-degree V-parting chisel (5mm) for crisp outlines and shadowing.

  • The Undercutters: A Long Bent Gouge (Sweep #7, 20mm) and a Short Bent Gouge (10mm) specifically designed for reaching into deep hollows and finishing the bottoms of relief scenes.

Complete Your Workshop

  • Leather Honing Strop & GOI Paste: Essential for daily maintenance; a few passes on the leather will keep your edges razor-sharp and prevent the need for frequent regrinding.

  • The STRYI 3-Piece Professional Knife Set: This trio of knives is the perfect companion to your 12-piece chisel kit. While your chisels handle the depth and volume of relief carving, these hand-forged whittling and sloyd knives allow you to switch seamlessly to detail work, fine chip carving

  • Basswood Practice Blanks: If you are gifting this set, pair it with high-quality, knot-free basswood to ensure the first experience with these chisels is buttery smooth.

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!
