Ideas on these 3 pieces?

Nope, the little chopper is very light, convex edge, and I suspect it was forged out of a piece of saw blade or other thinnish stock. The edge was filed in, and the flats of the blade weren't even drawfiled, rather they were left covered in firescale, which is visible through the thick rust. There is some distal taper from forging it out, but the spine at the ricasso is only about 2mm wide.

I see chisel grinds on WWII era talibons from Luzon, but does a chisel grind on something from this part of the world signify a cultural group generally?
