How to Choose the Right Chisel:
- Blade Width: Select narrower blades for fine details and larger ones for bulk wood removal.
- Sweep and Cutting Edge Curvature: The curvature of the cutting edge is determined by the sweep, which corresponds to the depth of the curve. Therefore sweep #1 indicates a flat cutting edge, and sweep #9 represents a semicircular cutting edge. Sweep #5, #7 and #8 are intermediate accordingly. You can see it on the pic.
- Handle Length: Shorter handles provide more control for detail work, while longer handles offer better leverage for heavy-duty tasks.
- Curved vs. Straight: Curved chisels (Klyukars) are ideal for scooping and creating depth, while straight chisels work best for flat or straight surfaces.
- Mallet Usage: For larger chisels or tasks that require more force, especially when using strike chisels, a mallet can help apply the necessary power while maintaining precision. Make sure the chisel is designed for mallet use to avoid damaging the handle.

About us
The story of STRYI began with a young couple who inherited the craft of making wood carving tools from their relatives. They embraced traditional techniques of working with metal and wood, which had been passed down through generations. In 2009, the couple founded the brand by opening a small workshop where each tool was handcrafted with attention to quality and detail. Their goal was to create tools that combine tradition with modern innovations, ensuring long-lasting use in carving without the need for frequent sharpening, suitable for both professionals and beginners.
The company's name comes from the city of Stryi in western Ukraine, known for its craftsmanship and cultural heritage.

Hey there, carving enthusiasts! Today, Iwant to talk to you about the necessary tool you should have in your carvingkit - a leather strop with polishing paste.
☝️Just like how a violinistprepares his bow before playing or how an artist prepares their art toolsbefore drawing, it's essential to prepare your carving tools before everycarving session. And that's where the leather strop comes in.
🔍The uniqueness of thisleather strop lies in its grooves for all types of chisels - roundedsemicircular gouges, sloping gouges, flat tools, V-chisels, hook knives, andother ones. This means that you can use it to sharpen and polish all of yourcarving tools.
💯But why is thisnecessary? Well, using a leather strop with polishing paste helps to carve thewood as smoothly as butter. It removes any burrs or rough edges on your chiselsand makes them razor-sharp. This not only makes your carving process moreenjoyable but also ensures that you'll get the best possible results.
So, before every carving session, make sureto spend a few minutes using your leather strop with polishing paste.

Basswood blanks for carving is considered the best for carving due to its fine texture and ease of working. Lime, or linden wood, possesses a close grain that allows for intricate detailing without splintering or tearing. Its softness makes it ideal for both novice and experienced carvers, as it can be easily manipulated with carving tools. Additionally, bass wood is known for its stability and lack of resin, which can interfere with carving and finishing processes. Our collection of basswood blanks offers different shaped boards and blocks for your carvings.
Furthermore, quality dried wood with moisture content below 10% is particularly advantageous for carving. This low moisture content ensures that the wood is stable and less prone to warping or cracking during the carving process. Carving into dry wood also results in cleaner cuts and finer details, as the wood is less likely to compress or deform under pressure. Therefore, working with properly dried lime wood not only facilitates smoother carving but also enhances the longevity and quality of the finished carved piece.
If you know what the recipient enjoys carving, you can select a suitable set for that type of carving. We also offer gift wrapping upon request, which you can arrange in our chat or through the contact form on our homepage.
Alternatively, you can choose a gift card in various amounts.
