block plane
Explanation:
Je crois bien avoir trouvé le bon terme:

"The block plane is smaller than a bench plane, ranging from 3 to 8 inches long and 1 to ½ inch wide. They are meant to be used single handedly, for a lighter touch, for trimming end grain and miscellaneous fine work. The cutting blade is mounted at a low 20 degree angle; this shallow pitch means the cutting edge bevel faces upward. Most block planes have a blade that is adjustable with a knurled wheel for depth of cut."

Cette définition me paraît correspondre plus ou moins à la votre.
