Well if ya dont have a Gangawalla then I feel for ya! Such a fine blade! Balance is wonderful on these. Id say wicked!

Interesting frog?
 
I'm still learning and I know what the two smaller dark handled tools are but what's the small light handled one for?
 
Looks like an awl but it could be that one of these is actually an extra knife and that the awl looking thing is the blunt Chakmak with an antler handle and the other "sharp" the Karda. Hard to tell without magnifying the photo.

I was thinking it was an awl or pick-tool myself which would be pretty handy. Big knife, small knife, sharpener, awl/pick. A whole set.
 
The story that I remember reading here a long time ago was that Yvsa carved models out of wood of what he wanted as the Yvsa Cherokee Special, and sent them to Nepal, but while he sent models of the main blade, two large kardas, and a pointed awl, in transit the pointed tip of the awl was broken off, so all of the YCS models that they have made have had the blunt "awl" as the third accesory. just like the models that they received.
