i can't seem to find any examples of these hand tools .
i bought them at a sale because they looked hand forged ,,,

let me know what you think

thanks

Any context to where they might have come from? Was that the finish on them or have they been polished?

My wild guess would be molders tools for casting but they are a different form than any I seen.

Wild guess, leather scraping blades?

I had also been thinking in terms of tools for animal skinning and cutting.

The tool on the right looks somewhat like a variation of an Ulu.

Ulu - Wikipedia.

Just a guess on my part since I know nothing about skinning animals except having seen some done on TV or in Videos.
