The STRYI Profi is a 20 mm micro swallowtail carving knife built for miniature geometric work: tight grids, small triangles and deep relief backgrounds where a full-size knife catches on neighboring facets. Its 2 mm blade is W1-7 high-carbon steel hardened to 60–62 HRC, with a symmetrical double bevel at 45 degrees that gives right- and left-handed carvers the same control. Each knife is hand-honed and stropped on leather before it ships, so it cuts thin shavings straight from the box. It suits carvers doing fine chip carving and detail relief in basswood, cherry, walnut and white oak; against mass-market detail knives it holds an edge longer, though it is a single-purpose tool, not a general carving knife.

Buyers describe the knife arriving sharper than expected, with clean cuts that need no sanding. They single out the ambidextrous bevel and edge retention as the main reasons to choose it over cheaper detail knives.

The STRYI Profi 20mm Micro Swallowtail Chip Carving Knife is a small chip carving knife for miniature geometric work. It has a compact 20 mm swallowtail profile and a 45-degree bevel angle. The size lets it fit into tight corners and narrow, deep relief backgrounds, where a standard-size knife can catch adjacent facets. It makes clean three-step cuts without grain breakout.
The blade is forged from European W1-7 high-carbon steel, hardened to 60-62 HRC, and is 2 mm thick. It cuts hardwoods such as walnut, white oak, cherry and basswood. Each knife is hand-honed and leather-stropped at the factory, so it is sharp out of the box.
The blade has a symmetrical, low-profile double-bevel geometry. It performs the same for right- and left-handed carvers and resists twisting under pressure.
