Miniature Crete knife ?

These are very realistic ,proportional and almost functional antique miniatures.. A Crete knife with no doubt, a mortar pestle I guess, a hammer, a knife sharpener? with stone which has signs of wear of use , and a tool with needle like pointed but strong tip.All have beautifully worked bone or ivory grips. If these are just miniature models of tools, do they symbolize something definite altogether? Eftihis you have any idea ? Knife is 7 cms

regards
