I'm relatively new to leather working and some of these tools I dont know what there called or there purpose, I Just got them with the extremely large collection I bought fro a guy that had obviously been collecting and toolings since the 60s with some of the tools i have and old as the hills craftaids, Some of these seem to be knives, there need when you have a few swivel knives is unknown to me. The pink one has a little blade Iin it that swivels, Like a swivel knife but has proved useless in my hands, And the one with the spoon on one end, I dont know what the other end is or the slightest clue on these others. Please Excuse my ignorance, But you dont know until you ask.

Anyhealp is much appreciated.

Your going to have to post bigger pictures for me to help. I can't see the ends good enough. The bottom one is a modeling spoon on one end and a stylist (used to trace patterns among other things) on the other. I think I see a hair blade and a groover but I'm not sure.

I agree, having grown up using a wood lathe, those are lathe tools.

Yep all the ones at the top are what are sold as wood carving chisels but are patterned on wood turning chisels. Most are not really that good for either, being the wrong pattern for carving and too short handled for turning.
