STRYI Profi 10mm (0.39") #7 Sweep Spoon Wood Carving Gouge - Forged Tool Steel
Need to carve deep recesses or clear tight backgrounds without your tool handle hitting the rim? The STRYI 10mm #7 spoon gouge delivers precision clearance and a razor-sharp cut right out of the box
When working in restricted spaces or carving deep internal cavities, a standard straight gouge will only get you so far - the handle inevitably hits the surrounding wood, blocking your line of sight and ruining your cutting angle
This hand-forged 10mm #7 sweep spoon gouge by STRYI is built specifically to fix that. Designed with a distinct cranked shank, it keeps your hands and the European oak handle safely clear of the sidewalls while the cutting edge works deep inside the cavity. Forged from tough U8 high-carbon tool steel and hardened to 60-62 HRC, the robust 3mm thick blade stands up to heavy mallet work without flexing or vibrating. The medium #7 sweep is the ultimate sweet spot for flattening bowl bottoms and carving broad, flowing contours without leaving harsh tracking lines
Why Woodcarvers Keep the STRYI 10mm #7 in Their Kit
- Clearance for Deep Hollows: The spoon-bent design lifts your hand above high rims, letting you carve perfectly parallel to the bottom of deep vessels
- Perfect for Tight Spots: The compact 10mm cutting edge gives you absolute control inside small cavities where wider tools are too clumsy
- Premium U8 Carbon Steel: Holds a razor-sharp edge through hours of work and slices through dense hardwoods like cherry, walnut, and oak without losing its bite
- Rock-Solid Oak Handle: Made from seasoned European oak and reinforced with a heavy-duty copper ferrule to prevent splitting under heavy palm pressure or mallet strikes
- Bench-Ready Sharpness: Buffed and hand-polished on a leather wheel. Unpack it, test it on a scrap piece, and get straight to work
