carving tools

Sculptor's cutting instruments

Carving tools are implements designed for cutting, shaping, or incising solid materials—typically wood, stone, or meat.

For sculpture and woodworking, these include chisels, gouges, and knives of various profiles.

For roasting, the term usually means a long knife and fork for slicing and serving: She brought out the carving tools for the Thanksgiving turkey.
