The 12-piece Professional Relief Carving SET is our definitive bestseller, engineered to bridge the gap between classic European tradition and modern workshop demands. This kit is designed for the artisan who requires extended reach and superior leverage; featuring 12cm blades (4.73") and a total tool length of 25cm (10"), these tools allow you to navigate deep relief panels, architectural furniture accents, and large-scale sculptures with surgical precision.

The “Pro-Steel” Advantage

  • Hand-Forged W1-7 High-Carbon Steel: Every blade is forged by hand and undergoes our signature 11-stage tempering process for a refined molecular structure.

  • 60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the professional limit, ensuring the edge stays "scary sharp" through dense hardwoods and high-repetition carving.

  • 3mm Steel Thickness: This professional grade ensures maximum rigidity and vibration damping. The 3mm thickness prevents tool flex during deep relief work, providing a stable edge for cleaner cuts and better control.

  • Octagonal European Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil. The octagonal geometry prevents rolling and offers multiple pressure points for better hand-leverage during intricate maneuvers.

  • Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Forged in Ukraine to professional workshop standards and shipped directly from the manufacturer.


What’s in the Kit: The Professional Breakdown

  • Flat & Low Sweeps (#1 & #5): Essential for leveling backgrounds, cleaning up stop cuts, and modeling shallow organic contours. The #1 flats provide a planed finish on flat planes.

  • Medium & Deep Sweeps (#7 & #8): Your primary tools for establishing musculature, drapery, and structural depth. These sweeps offer the perfect radius for removing waste while leaving a smooth, refined surface.

  • Micro-Detailing Veiners (#9): The 3mm and 10mm #9 sweeps are designed for high-walled textures—hair, fine-line accents, and deep-channeled geometry.

  • Bent Geometry (Long & Short): The #7 Long Bent and #9 Short Bent gouges are specialized for "reaching in." They allow you to clean the bottom of deep relief scenes and navigate undercuts that are inaccessible to straight tools.

  • 60° V-Parting Chisel: The standard for mapping designs and creating sharp shadows. Its geometry ensures a clean "V" groove without tearing cross-grain fibers.

  • Skewed Knife (Version 1): A precision tool for cleaning tight corners and making vertical incisions in geometric chip carving patterns.

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!
