Product Description
The Stryi Sculpture #9 Gouge 40mm is a large wood carving gouge that is used in large-scale sculpture wood carvings. This style of woodcarving can be used with a mallet as a supplemental tool to assist the gouge in rapid wood removal or to help carve hard to reach areas. These Stryi sculpture gouges are made from durable carbon steel suitable for strictest standards, especially for wood carving. The ideal composition and hardness determines the blades quality. The softer the steel the lower the RC number. Stryi's knives have a Rockwell hardness of 60-62 which holds a sharper edge and lasts longer.
All Stryi carving tools are hand sharpened which provide soft, even tempered, smooth and clear cuts on hard and soft woods.
The handle has an ergonomic and optical shape that allows comfortable long lasting carving without additional pressure on hands, preventing fatigue.
The 40mm sweep is about 1.57 inches wide. Stryi gouges are very versatile and can perform different cuts. There are three basic cuts the Stryi Sculpture #9 Gouge 40mm can create, convex cuts, concave cuts, and plunge cuts. Every gouge blade is a small segment of a circle, so any individual gouge will cut a perfect circle. The bent gouge also allows carvers to cut into recessed areas without the handle interfering with the surface of the wood.
