Spoon Hook Knife Set 3-Piece STRYI Profi (0.79 in, 0.98 in, 1.38 in / 20mm, 25mm, 35mm)

Carving traditional wooden kuksas, deep utility bowls, or small kitchen spoons with a single hook knife inevitably leads to frustration: a wide blade jams in narrow recesses, while a tiny tool requires endless passes and leaves uneven chatter marks. The STRYI Profi 3-piece spoon hook knife set covers the complete hollowing workflow, scaling from aggressive bulk waste removal to precise bottom-radius detailing without tearing the wood fibers.

When you are hollowing out a deep kuksa or shaping a nested bowl, relying on one mismatched radius forces your wrist into awkward, fatiguing angles and bruises the grain.

This curated 3-piece STRYI Profi hook knife set is engineered specifically to eliminate that workshop bottleneck. Forged from certified high-carbon U8 tool steel and heat-treated to 60–62 HRC, each robust 3mm monolithic blade maintains absolute structural rigidity under heavy hand pressure across soft basswood, as well as stubborn dense hardwoods like pear, plum, walnut, and dry oak. The heavy-duty stock effectively dampens tool chatter and apex vibration, letting you take clean, confident slices. Seasoned European oak handles measuring 4.33 in /110mm feature reinforced copper ferrules to prevent handle splitting, offering a secure, fatigue-free grip during long carving sessions

Frequently Asked Questions

• In what sequence should I use these knife diameters? Start your hollowing with the largest 35mm blade to hog out bulk material quickly, refine the cavity with the 25mm tool, and finish the tight bottom radius and transitions with the 20mm hook knife.

• Do I need to sharpen these tools before my first cut? No, every instrument arrives professionally pre-sharpened, polished, and ready for immediate work straight out of the box.

• How do I maintain the curved cutting edges? Light passes over a profiled round leather strop charged with honing compound along the bevel angle and inside the flute will keep these edges biting cleanly for months of active crafting
