Very nice! Anyone ever think that maybe these "halfed scrapers" are really blunt points?

Would be good for having the weight but not penetration..for maybe turkeys or something?

I used to call them blunts and figured they were used to shoot small game, maybe so they wouldnt damage the hide, or just to stun the animal so as to capture it alive. I guess i have come around to believing they were probably used as scrapers. That seems to be the consensus among collectors now, and it does make sense to me, but i wouldnt doubt that some were used as a projectile also.Here is one of mine. 0719170719.jpg

Not sure about the blunt points never thought about it, but it is a possibility... It's pretty small for an ax though... It's a little bigger than a quarter

On the triangle style do you think they were reworked tips that broke? I find them every once in a while but not often. I like the hafted style to. Most scrapers I find are ovals or flake style.

The other two is what I consider thumb nail scrapers and the only ones I've found... The rest I've found are the oval kind. Or as you called them before scraper knives
