STRYI Profi Large Bent Gouges for Deep Hollowing — Kuksa and Bowl Carving Tools
The STRYI Profi Large Bent Gouge is the ultimate powerhouse for hollowing out significant volumes of wood. Specifically designed for creating kuksas, large bowls, and deep wooden vessels, this tool offers a more aggressive curvature and robust construction than standard carving chisels. Its "bent" geometry provides the essential clearance needed to reach the bottom of deep hollows without the handle hitting the edge of your workpiece.

Why Professionals Choose STRYI Large Bent Gouges:
Heavy-Duty Performance for Deep Recesses Unlike delicate detailing tools, these gouges are built to withstand the pressure of deep hollowing. The specialized "spoon-style" bend allows you to maintain a consistent cutting angle even at the very bottom of a deep cup or bowl, ensuring clean, splinter-free results.
Premium W1-7 High-Carbon Steel Hollowing out dense hardwoods like birch, oak, or cherry requires elite steel. Forged from specialized W1-7 high-carbon steel and hardened to 60-62 HRC (Rockwell), these blades maintain their razor-sharp edge through the most demanding projects. Each tool is built to endure a lifetime of heavy use.
Ergonomic Oak Handle for Maximum Leverage Control and safety are critical when removing large chips of wood. The handle is hand-crafted from genuine oak and treated with natural linseed oil. Its robust shape is designed to provide a secure, non-slip grip, allowing you to apply the necessary power while maintaining surgical precision.
Ready to Use Out of the Box Every STRYI tool arrives professionally hand-sharpened and leather-stropped. There is no need for initial grinding or honing; you can begin your next kuksa or bowl project the moment you open the box.

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.
