The blue item above the box cutter is a butane pen torch.

Sorry, that is actually a desoldering pump AKA a "solder sucker."
There were butane pen torch styli used in Nemesis, though, which were a similar shade of blue.
It's funny I've been trying to get a good shot of that "blue tool" after searching for more pics of the snap knife. It shows up on Picard's desk quite a few times.
My best guess is that it is a version of this medical tool I found form an old auction-
Here's a comp of the above appearances.

Ooh, great reference shots! Ryan and I have been talking a bit about that desoldering tool but you've found more of its appearances than we did. The auction pic is likely one and the same.
Another blue desoldering pump was later cut down and modified to create a Voyager prop:
