Relief Carving: 3-Piece STRYI Start Relief Carving Set

The STRYI Mallet-Ready Relief Carving Set is a professional 3-piece system engineered specifically for deep relief work and structured material removal. Featuring a robust 3mm steel thickness, this set is fully optimized to withstand the force of a wooden mallet when driving into dense hardwoods. Arriving professionally sharpened and bench-ready, these hand-forged tools remove technical barriers, letting you focus on mastering grain orientation and deep relief from your very first cut. Mallet-Ready 3mm Steel: Engineered with a reinforced 3mm thickness, these tools are built to absorb mallet strikes without flexing, allowing you to drive into stubborn or seasoned timber with total confidence. Hand-Forged W1-7 High-Carbon Steel: Every blade is hand-forged to refine its molecular structure, ensuring a razor-sharp apex that slices through wood fibers cleanly, preventing the grain crushing common with mass-produced industrial tools. 60–62 HRC Elite Hardness: Hardened via a signature 11-stage tempering process, providing superior edge retention when carving abrasive, dense hardwoods. Ergonomic Oak Mallet-Compatible Handles: Finished with natural linseed oil, these premium oak handles feature a reinforced design optimized to withstand repetitive mallet strikes while ensuring a comfortable, non-slip grip during long hand-push sessions. Rapid Stropping Recovery: The specialized high-carbon metallurgy allows for effortless edge maintenance. A few quick passes on a leather strop bring the 3mm edge back to a mirror-polished, razor-sharp state. Manufacturer-Direct Ukrainian Quality: Forged and crafted directly in our Ukrainian workshop, ensuring strict quality control, impeccable balance, and authentic blacksmith craftsmanship. What’s in the Kit V-Parting Tool 45°, 10mm (Art. 104510): Essential for deep outlines, relief boundaries, and cutting structural geometry into the wood. Gouge Sweep #8, 30mm (Art. 100830): A wide, deep gouge built for efficient material removal, deep roughing-out, and shaping the primary depth of your relief characters or ornaments. Gouge Sweep #5, 25mm (Art. 100525): A wide, shallow finishing gouge designed for flattening background planes and smoothing out rough mallet tracks.
