Just a knife or possibly a chisel

I have never seen anything similar to the hard stone chisels, axes etc most of you find further north. I don't know if that is at all related to different time period as well as the lack of stone or what. Most of what I have seen out of my area seems to be very crude when it come to tools. I have a few similar to the piece in question and always saw them as some sort of chisel, especially this one due to the fact the opposite end is nearly untouched. ( Or unfinished point/knife) Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

Cool piece! Is that Texas Quartzite, or some kinda flint? I see where your headed with the chisel thought, I think around here it might be called an end scraper. That doesn't mean it is one.. Nice find, thanks for the view.

Very nice find! If found here it would be called a knife. Like this one I found last week. This one is worked on both sides but is thicker on one side and the other side flat.

Looks similar to the two I posted in my knife/scraper thread. I believe it is flint Viking. Thanks for looking fellas
