Anyone know that tools ?

Do You know what are those tools, and what they are designed for? They can be broken, the "pliers" probably has one jaw broken off .

Not sure about the pliers, but the knife is a well used rand or welt knife.

Thanks Art for Your reply. As I know now how the knife should look like I will be able to put it in working condition. Those pliers should be used for shoe making, as the rest of tools I've bought are definitely a shoemaker's tools, but I'm not 100% positive about that. Person who was selling them knew only that it was her grandfather's tools, and that he was a shoemaker.

Vericone,

the pliers are not really pliers; they are a saw set. This is used to slightly bend the teeth of a hand saw after sharpening. They are bent outward on alternating sides of the saw to cut a tiny bit wider slot (called a "kerf") than the blade's thickness. That keeps the blade from getting stuck in the cut. I own a full set of saw sharpening tools and one of these is in there.

You can still buy them new: http://www.traditionalwoodworker.com/Saw-Set-Regular/productinfo/580-6510/

It takes a bit of practice to sharpen a saw by hand, but there is NO comparison to the store bought or machine sharpened ones.
