Another what is it from...

the tool box drawers. I posted this earlier today and it is gone. Anyone have any idea why? Had a fairly good description of each but going to skip it this time. There was nothing in my description to get it removed so??? The scraper is sharp on the flat end and blunt elsewhere. The thing that looks like a file is not, sharp point and three sharp edges.

I have no idea about the tool on the left, but from your description it sounds like the one on the right is a birdcage awl. Its often used in woodworking to start a hole for something such as a screw. Press it into the wood and twist to ream the hole before starting the screw.

I think the red handle thing is a chip hook, used to pull stringy chips out of a manual lathe. Someone may have repurposed it into a scraper.

The other is a debur tool.

the red handled one is for splitting heater hoses not to crack the solder joints when removing hoses.

Been years but I believe catalogs call the right one a bearing scraper. Often used for deburring ect., originally for hand fitting babbitt bearings

I agree on the deburring tool. 50 years ago when I worked in a machine shop the old timers would grind a worn out file like this so the 3 flat surfaces were slightly concave & the 3 corners very sharp to repurpose it as a deburring tool.

As a kid, Dad had a tool similar to the one on the right. It was a deburring tool. Not sure if he ever told me, but I remember using that tool on some parts a few different times.
