Thought you may like that blade... That one is called "peasant shoe maker knife" hmmm rough translation, but...

Peasant shoes are called "opanak" here and were made of leather, and lately rubber

So this blade was used by shoe makers, but also by rug makers

and other craftsman in upholistery buss... It's great blade when sharpened,

The top knife looks like a gardener's budding/grafting knife. The bottom appears to have a bottle opener and foil cutter. :) s-k

That budding knife is marked Delta Solingen Germany. Delta is a Hugo Linder brand. Linder makes some pretty nice knives from what I have heard.
