The relief and chip wood carving knife STRYI Profi (art.184535) — Whittling Tool

The STRYI Profi 1.4 in (35mm) Carving Knife is a versatile, high-performance tool designed for the most delicate aspects of woodcraft. Its compact blade geometry is specifically engineered for both high-relief carving and precise geometric chip patterns. Whether you are adding life-like textures to a relief composition or creating intricate decorative borders, this knife provides the surgical control and razor-sharp edge required for professional-level finishing.

Why Artisans Choose the STRYI 35mm Relief Knife:

Superior Maneuverability for Fine Work The  1.4 in (35mm) blade is the ideal length for navigating tight curves and reaching deep into relief carvings. By keeping the cutting edge close to your hand, this knife offers maximum leverage and micro-precision, making it an essential tool for "cleaning up" details and creating sharp, defined lines in your artwork.

Premium W1-7 High-Carbon Steel True detail work demands a consistent, ultra-sharp edge. Forged from specialized W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to a professional 60-62 HRC (Rockwell), this blade holds its keen edge through hours of intricate carving. It slices effortlessly through both softwoods like basswood and tough hardwoods like oak, ensuring clean, splinter-free cuts.

Ergonomic Oak Handle Precision requires a stable and comfortable grip. The handle is hand-crafted from genuine oak and finished with natural linseed oil. Its ergonomic shape is designed to fit securely in the hand, providing a warm, non-slip feel that significantly reduces hand fatigue during long, detailed carving sessions.

Ready to Use Out of the Box We value your craftsmanship. Every STRYI knife arrives professionally hand-sharpened and leather-stropped. There is no initial grinding or honing required; you can move straight from the box to your project with complete confidence in your tool's performance.

Built for Professional Longevity

This relief carving knife is a lifelong investment for your workshop. With a robust 2mm blade thickness and expert European tempering, it offers the perfect balance between a thin, sharp profile and the structural strength needed for consistent pressure without flexing.

    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.

    I only purchase tools as I identify a specific needs for my woodworking and sculpting. The V gouge I got from you is a pleasure to use and works exactly as I hoped. Beautiful tool.

    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!
