Re: Corkscrew?
Closer, and I can see how it might be used for that, but that is not its Primary Purpose.

kjsimons got it.
It is a rigging knife. The pointed thing is called a Marlin Spike and is used when splicing ropes to open the gap under a strand. The blade is called a sheepsfoot and has a blunt end.
Congratulations kjsimons! Do you have an object to post?

Re: More Mystery Objects
Number three looks like a letter opener. Still working on the first two.

Re: More Mystery Objects
well, number three is obviously designed to cut to a limited depth. It could be bandages, insulation, documents but there is something below that that should not be cut.
