I'm not playing this one, because I won the last one, but look at the handles and why they're shaped like that. The little one has a sort of sandpaper grip strips (apparently when you hold it it will MOVE so you need a good grip), big one has grooves to help hang on to them too. So they aren't stationary tools, they are hand tools.
So you know that 1. they are handheld (or would not need grips). 2. You probably aren't sweating while using them (or wood would not be a great handle, AND the metal ridges that help you hang on in the big one would be shaped badly, and would be better shaped with a more tapered grip handle so you can't lose it). - the above 2 leads to the conclusion that they are used relatively stationary (not for hitting, swinging - hand would slide down the bar of big one). That leaves shaping or piercing.
Shaping metal is out. You can't shape metal with such skinny pieces of metal unless it's molten... at which point the skinny point would need to be used quickly, and the handle not conducive to fast control (would not need to be so THICK).
Shaping clay? Yes. (because Don already confirmed this).
What kind of shaping would those things do?
Well they both POKE, they have sharpened tips. Both have SQUARE handles, they aren't going to make a circle, because spinning the point in a hole would be silly with a square tip. Square tips are best for keeping someone from TURNING the point. What would you need to POKE or SCRAPE, and not TURN the point (thus the square handles)?

Turning tool! Did someone say that already? Has to be that:
"These extra-heavy steel blades in a variety of shapes are mounted on solid steel shanks and set in massive wooden handles. Perfect for all turning and trimming applications. Super sharp edges hold up against even the groggiest clays and plaster."

I meant nope, not a turning tool, and yep, someone already guessed that.
These are heavy tool steel. One mounted in red oak. The other in rectangular aluminum tubing with a virgin PVC filler. I made both of them, copied from professionally made tools.
