notched
Cut with grooves
Notched means having a V-shaped cut or indentation, or a series of them: a notched belt, notched arrow.
The word often describes edges with deliberate cuts for grip or measurement.
Figuratively, to have notched something is to have achieved or recorded it: She's notched three victories this season.
