Hook Knife Set 80 mm Right and Left STRYI Profi – 2 Pieces
Hollowing out deep wooden bowls, large kuksas, or heavy trenchers with standard short hook knives often forces your knuckles against high rims, causing hand strain and loss of control over the cutting angle. The STRYI Profi 2-piece extended spoon hook knife set solves this exact bottleneck with a generous 3.15 in / 80mm metal reach paired with a 1.18 in / 30mm cutting diameter. Featuring dedicated right- and left-handed orientations, this paired set lets you carve smoothly along opposing grain directions inside deep recesses without awkward wrist twists or constantly repositioning heavy workpieces
What Is Inside the Professional Package
-
3.15 in (80mm) Right-Handed Extended Spoon Hook Knife: Engineered with a right-hand bevel orientation for smooth, controlled hollowing of deep bowl interiors and pulling strokes toward your body
-
3.15 in (80mm) Left-Handed Extended Spoon Hook Knife: A mirrored counterpart designed for counter-rotational cuts and smooth hollowing strokes using your left hand without flipping your blank
Metallurgical Excellence & Ergonomic Architecture
-
High-Carbon U8 Tool Steel: Properly heat-treated alloy steel hardens to 60-62 HRC, delivering the structural rigidity needed to prevent blade flex on dense pear, plum, or dry walnut
-
Stout 3 mm Blade Thickness: Heavy-duty stock eliminates tool chatter and apex vibration under rigorous hand pressure across stubborn timbers
-
Extended 3.15 in / 80mm Reach: The long steel neck lifts your knuckles safely above high vessel rims while carving parallel to deep recess bases
-
Ergonomic Oak Grips: Seasoned European oak handles measuring 5.31 in (135mm) feature reinforced copper ferrules to prevent handle splitting and ensure a secure, fatigue-free two-handed palm grip
-
Razor-Ready Bench Readiness: Every instrument arrives professionally pre-sharpened, hand-honed, and mirror-polished on a leather wheel with compound so you can unpack and start carving immediately
