I don't recognise them as being a military issue pattern of any sort.
My best guess would be that they are one off workshop made.
I assume they don't have any markings.

Hi Richie
The lower knife has the german manufacturer HAUPTNER stamped on the sheath.Appreciate your reply,thanks.

The bottom item doesnt look like a knife, its more like an awl or a leather bradle, possible to do with a saddler?
Hi Dave,you may have something there.im finding an equestrian theme with my searches too. Thanks for the post
Agreed. Some sort of awl/tool, and a letter opener............
Regards,

You could ask them - assuming it is the same company
Hauptner-Herberholz
The bottom one is not a knife, but an instrument called a Rumen Trochar used by vets to relieve blote in cattle.
