Any idea what these are?

Would anyone have the slightest idea what these hooky things are. Was clearing out some old boxes of my mums and found them with her sewing knitting stuff. Wife runs a knitting business and she is certain they are not crochet hooks. The hook bit is very sharp and steel.

 

Before Snatcher or Norrie get stuck in, I have worked out that the one at the bottom is a pen :rolleyes:
