V-tool
Woodworker's grooving implement
A V-tool is a woodcarving chisel with a V-shaped cutting edge, used to make grooves, outlines, and decorative lines in wood.
The angle of the V varies—typically from 45 to 90 degrees—determining the width and depth of the cut.
Also called a parting tool or veiner: She used a V-tool to carve the lettering.
