These are also posted on the ethnographic weapons forum. Does anyone recognize the two blacksmith's ? tools that came with the group ?

Thanks in advance.

I believe the second item is a (rather rare and desirable) Tlingit dagger. Is the blade copper?

The pliers are from a cobbler's bench.

The hammer could be for slate work.
