I'm going to say Checkering Tool for a Gunsmith. For detailing the wooden stocks.

That Makes Sense to Me, I Appreciate It!

PS:I Looked for it for a long time, with grove cleaning tool as my key word, but gunsmith checkering never crossed my mind.

Thanks Again

Yup, 100% a gun checkering tool (I build and renovate old muzzleloaders so I use them)
I didn't know Goodall & Pratt made one!
