Hi Dominique:

Interesting set of knives. Thanks for posting them.

The bottom three seem to be a matching set of differing lengths, which strongly suggests a set of tools. They are sturdy and well made, as Alan has noted, and I too think they are wood working/carving tools. I do not recognize which culture they may be from, but SE Asia is a good bet IMO.

Ian.
