carver

Sculptor with blades

A carver is someone who carves—shaping wood, stone, or other materials by cutting away pieces: a master carver of wooden decoys.

In dining contexts, the carver is the person who cuts and serves meat at table, or the large knife used for that purpose: He took up the carver and began slicing the roast.
