Got these at an auction - can anyone identify? Thanks!
I have similar looking homemade tools that I use for fretwork on guitars etc.

I appreciate it Maurice, but these are stellar build quality. They seem like high end kit.
Yes they are nicely made. My two are a ten thousands slot cutter used as a first step in cutting a slot or kerf. The other is a leveling file. It was carefully selected for flatness and glued to a handle. I can't tell what the benchcraft thing might be. Another image or two might help with an ID.

The "benchcrafted" tool is a carbide paring scraper, according to their website.
Thank you all!
The top two are Glen-Drake kerf starters. The third is Scraper file/burnisher also by Glen-Drake.
From website:
"Kerf-Starter looks like a knife but works like a scraper. It removes a shaving, leaving a kerf that captures your saw. Use it for laying out dovetails and other joinery."
"Scraper File-Burnisher is a very fine file on one side and a burnisher on the other side and both edges. It is ideal for adding the hook-burr to your Kerf-Starters and for the final filing and burnishing of your card and other scrapers."
