The STRYI Profi is a miniature hook knife for hollowing small concave areas. It has a 3 mm (0.12") cutting diameter and a 4 mm (0.16") blade width, so it reaches tight undercuts and deep hollows that a standard spoon carving knife cannot. It is used for miniature figurines, small bowls, miniature spoons, pipes and detailed relief carving.
The blade is forged from European W1-7 high-carbon steel, hardened to 60-62 HRC, and is 2 mm thick. It has a symmetrical double-bevel edge. Each knife is hand-honed and leather-stropped before it ships, so it arrives sharp. The blade cuts walnut, cherry and soft basswood.
The handle is 100 mm genuine oak, treated with natural linseed oil. Right-handed and left-handed versions are made.
