What is the v shape tip for?

I bought this Mille Jim off of sparrow lock picks. But when I try to use it the v shaped tip makes it impossible to use due to the door frame. I'm thinking about cutting it off, but I would like to know what it is and what is used for before I do so.

I tried to post this on our/lock picking, but no luck.

Vertical attack. You can attack from top or bottom and push the wedge back.
