The long bent gouge STRYI Profi Profile 9 (art.100920) — Relief and Bowl Carving Tool
The STRYI Profi Profile 9 Bent Gouge is a specialized deep-sweep tool designed for carvers who need to remove significant amounts of wood from recessed areas. Its "long bent" (spoon-style) geometry and aggressive Profile 9 curvature make it the perfect choice for hollowing out deep bowls, ladles, and creating dramatic textures in high-relief woodcarving. This tool provides the necessary clearance and depth of cut where standard straight chisels simply cannot reach.

Why Professionals Choose the STRYI Profile 9 Bent Gouge:
Deep Profile 9 "U" Sweep The Profile 9, 0.8 in (20mm) offers a deep, circular U-shape. This is one of the most essential profiles for any woodcarver, as it allows for rapid material removal while creating clean, defined channels. It is particularly effective for shaping the interior walls of bowls and spoons.
Optimized Long Bent Reach The specialized bend in the blade allows the handle to remain at an angle above the workpiece, preventing your hand from hitting the wood while you carve deep into a hollow. This provides superior leverage and control for heavy hollowing tasks.
Premium W1-7 High-Carbon Steel Durability is critical when performing deep cuts. Forged from specialized W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to 60-62 HRC (Rockwell), this gouge maintains a surgical edge through hours of carving. It slices cleanly through both softwoods and dense hardwoods like oak, walnut, or cherry.

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.
