Since the tools are flint knapped and fragile. Best guess for now would be dressing field game to take home to the wife.

Yes they work together but do such different jobs. You show tools for hunting and killing as well as dressing and hide preparation. As well as a couple of other steps in that set.

Well, if you want the answer of ****working tools, okay, but two of the three tool types are multi-function and could be used on things other than **** and likely were.

Nice reproduction set.

I see an arrow head the black pointy thinky at the bottom center.
The main tool is an Adzes used for smoothing hides or carving wood.
There is a stone knife, the black pointy thing with the wood handle
Then the others appear to be scraping tools.

Is this a boat building set?

Let's check what there is.
1 handle
3 interchangeable tool bits
2 replacement tool bits
1 hammer stone

It is a tool kit for something. But what?

Information I have, per the builders site including construction photos - they are modern reproductions (2010) of Groswater Paleoeskimo tools now at L'Anse aux Meadows - would indicate they, except the adze, are used in animal hunting/food preparation. However you have indicated they were not used in hunting and obviously this particular set never had any use and the originals were not even a set.

I think Carlos should be the winner.

The hammer stone I mistook was a adze head. I think the adze could be used like a meat cleaver running it down the side of long bones.
