I don't gasp often on seeing new things. But this took my breath away. Just based on what I see and the price you paid I'd say you stole it for that price. Congrats on a fine find.

Wow, amazing set. I think you did very well for the price, I don't see any honing marks on them at all. Thanks for posting this.

This kind of miraculous find will keep some of us going with the hope that as we paw through junk...there might, just might, be a small treasure.
Thanks for the pics!
And, this looks like a museum quality treasure, as such, a long way from small. Legendary score.cheetahmeatpheonix and HARRYWALLY like this."Call me Ishmael"

That. Is. GORGEOUS!!!
And judging by sheer deduction on my part... does the twisty bit of metal come apart into a straight rod & a twisted one? I presume it is a corkscrew & ice pick set. Maybe the ice pick even fits into the hole on the screw in order to allow twisting leverage.
I've never seen anything like this before, so all of this is a bunch of conjecture. Especially since I can't hold it in my hands. Without another view, the thing in the opposite corner of the corkscrew looks to me like a strangely long pair of tweezers
.
I have no clue what use the two bits laying underneath the razors are for. Well, upon a second look, the hook might also fit in the hole at the end of the corkscrew.
And it is so well carved to a tailored fit of the items! My reaction was something to the effect of:
*overwhelming urge to find someone to slap me!*
