Thanks

To answer your question the answer is yes, In the pic above looking at the second row the first one is a knife, the second and last one in that row are scrapers. On the bottom row the last one is a scraper. Now the one that you mentioned that looks like it was made to be what it is. I believe the same, I believe it is unique in that it was made by a individual who had a special purpose for it. I do believe it was used as a knife. Maybe it was what we deer hunters call a gut knife.
Below is some closer pics of it, look close at the first pic and you will see a little ways from the left end a notch on each side which was used for hafting. Anyway it's unique and I like it. So far I haven't see another one like it
