Groover, race or sometimes gouge:
Double, screw or adjustable crease:
V gouge:

Personally, I've started calling all of my tools "Boris" to save on the confusion. Having a full set of saddlery tools - mostly Dixons - means I have an awful lot of Borises there.
Oh, and using rouge on a thread like that to polish is called "thrumming" in jewellery...
Abbey saddlery do an amazing range of tools mate.
