That's a paint-scraper, traditionally used in conjunction with a blowlamp for burning off paint.

A 'cabinet scraper' is a thin hard steel plate on which a burr had to be created using a burnisher:

Here's how the burr is raised so you can use both sides and all edges of the scraper:

Veneer is only 0.6mm thick and it's very easy - especially on rounded edges, to rub through it if you resort to using sandpaper.
