The skew chip carving flag knife STRYI AY (art.390030) — Wood Carving Tool
The STRYI Profi 1.2 in (30mm) Skew Knife, often called a Flag Knife due to its distinctive blade shape, is an essential tool for any chip carving enthusiast. Its angled cutting edge is specifically designed for making clean, vertical incisions and precise diagonal undercuts in geometric patterns. Whether you are working on intricate rosettes or sharp-edged borders, this knife provides the mechanical advantage needed for crisp, "snap-out" wood chips.

Why Artisans Choose the STRYI 1.2 in (30mm) Skew Knife:
Optimized Skew Angle for Chip Carving The 1.2 in (30mm) blade features a precise skew angle that allows for excellent visibility of your layout lines. This "flag" geometry is perfect for reaching into tight corners where a standard straight knife might struggle, ensuring that every cut meets perfectly for a professional finish.
Premium W1-7 High-Carbon Steel Geometric carving requires a razor-sharp edge that doesn't crumble under pressure. Forged from specialized W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to a professional 60-62 HRC (Rockwell), this blade maintains its surgical sharpness through miles of carving. It slices effortlessly through basswood, butternut, and even tougher hardwoods without tearing the grain.
Ergonomic Oak Handle Consistency in chip carving comes from a steady grip. The handle is hand-crafted from genuine oak and finished with natural linseed oil. Its ergonomic shape is designed to fit comfortably in the palm, providing the stability required for both heavy "thumb-push" cuts and delicate detailing.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Are STRYI tools ready to use out of the box?
Yes, absolutely. Every STRYI tool is professionally hand-sharpened and honed on a leather wheel before shipping. You can start carving the moment you receive your package.
What kind of steel are the tools made of?
We use high-quality high-carbon steel (W1-7), which is specifically chosen for its ability to hold a razor-sharp edge. The steel is heat-treated to a hardness of 60-62 HRC.
Can I use these tools for hardwoods like Oak or Walnut?
Yes. STRYI tools are designed to work effectively on both softwoods (like Basswood or Linden) and hardwoods (like Oak, Walnut, or Cherry)
How long does shipping take to the United States?
We ship directly from our workshop in Ukraine. Standard international shipping typically takes 10-14 business days. You will receive a tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched.
Will I have to pay customs duties or import taxes for orders to the USA?
No, you don’t need to worry about any extra costs. Our company covers all customs duties and import taxes for orders shipped to the United States. The price you see at checkout is the final price you pay—no hidden fees or surprise charges upon delivery.
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we ship to most countries globally. Shipping costs and delivery times will be calculated at checkout based on your location.
How often do I need to re-sharpen the tools?
With regular stropping on a leather block with polishing paste, you won't need to re-sharpen for a long time. Only use sharpening stones if the edge becomes chipped or significantly dull.
Do you offer tools for children?
We have specialized sets for young carvers (ages 8+ recommended) that are used in carving schools. However, we always recommend adult supervision.
