A tool or blade used to shave or scrape bone, particularly in crafts, medical procedures, or toolmaking.
Compound of 'bone' + 'shave,' describing a specialized tool for working with bone material. The word reflects craft terminology from woodworking and bone-carving traditions.
Bone-working is one of humanity's oldest crafts, and boneshaves show how people created specialized tools for specific materials—the same way we have different tools for metal, wood, and plastic today.
