Standard hook knives are often too large for surgical detailing on micro-spoons, figurines, or the intricate "lovespoon" handles where space is measured in millimeters. This 2-piece Professional STRYI Profi SET is engineered to solve the safety and directional bottlenecks of small-scale hollowing. By pairing a right-handed and left-handed "micro" hook knife, this kit provides a complete mechanical system for carving in both directions—allowing you to maintain a safe "push-away" motion for refining edges without switching your grip or compromising your grain orientation.
Workshop Logic
The curation of this set follows the "Safety-Through-Direction" logic. In a real workshop environment, carving a tiny vessel often requires you to work on the far side of the rim or refine a transition where pulling toward yourself is dangerous or mechanically inefficient. By including both a Right-Handed (pull) and Left-Handed (push-away) 4mm hook knife, this set allows you to carve with total control around the entire 360-degree radius of a micro-bowl. This "ambidextrous" setup is a professional requirement for high-resolution detailing, ensuring you never have to fight the grain or risk a slip in tight spaces.
The “Pro-Steel” Advantage
Hand-Forged W1-7 High-Carbon Steel: Every blade is forged by hand and subjected to an 11-stage tempering process, creating a refined molecular structure capable of holding a "scary sharp" micro-apex.
60–62 HRC Hardness: Hardened to the elite limit, these tools maintain their edge through hours of fine detailing in abrasive hardwoods like Walnut, Cherry, and Boxwood.
2mm Precision Thickness: This specific grade provides the ideal balance of rigidity and a low-profile "dive," allowing the blade to enter the wood with minimal resistance for cleaner, tool-finished surfaces.
Micro-Radius Geometry: The 4mm radius is specifically engineered for micro-hollowing and anatomical detailing in figurines where standard 25mm hooks are physically too large.
Ergonomic Oak Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these handles provide a secure, non-slip grip and the tactile feedback required for surgical precision.
Manufacturer-Direct Quality: Produced in our Ukrainian forge with a 15-year track record, ensuring direct accountability and professional studio standards out of the box.
What’s in the Kit
Micro Hook Knife 4mm, Right-Handed (Art. 150012): The primary detailing engine for hollowing micro-vessels and defining internal curves. Designed for the classic "pull" stroke toward the carver.
Micro Hook Knife 4mm, Left-Handed (Art. 150013): The essential safety partner. This allows you to carve the opposite side of your workpiece using a "push-away" motion, ensuring clean cuts and total safety during the refining and detailing stages.
Complete Your Workshop
STRYI Professional Figured Carving Knife (40mm) : The essential partner for shaping external silhouettes. While the micro hooks handle the internal hollowing, this 40mm blade is optimized for whittling wooden jewelry and fine detailing.
STRYI Short Bent Gouge (Spoon Gouge) : The mechanical bridge between rough hollowing and detail work. This tool allows you to establish the initial depression and carve grooves that are too deep for a standard knife but require more clearance than a hook.
STRYI Profiled Leather Strop : The only efficient way to maintain the 4mm radius of these tools. Standard flat strops cannot reach the internal apex; this version features contoured profiles engineered to recover a "scary sharp" edge in seconds, ensuring your 60–62 HRC steel slices through hardwoods with zero resistance.
