Not sure Nomad other than the quartz tips and scrapers in the last pic. The others may just be worn from time or even worked and tested some and discarded??

In the last pic all the white ones are good tools and tips. Except the one rite below the penny from left to right. 2nd one isnt good. The rest take back. Just trying to be honest and I dont mean to hurt your feelings. The one white one in the bottom right pic I would like to see closer it shows some nice edge work on it.

Yeah that is a nice scraper with a graver tip on it. So scraper/ tool. Looks like a early one. Most of the early ones had graver tips on them as they got made later on they didnt use the gravers as much. Looks almost like it has a shaft scraper worked into it also. That would of been used to scrap the meat from the bone then the tip is for helping in the removal of the morrow from the inside of the bone. A lot of them have the graver tips broke off from use. Very nice
