✅ SOLVED Help I.D. celt,hoe ???

[Buckeyedon]

Found in Muskingum Co. Ohio. Made of banded slate. 8" long 3 1/2", wide at sharpened end , 1/2" thick at widest point. I have a few books but appears to be to thin for a celt? Don't know if slate is to soft for a hoe. Or is it something completely different. All help appreciated. Sorry about Quality of pics. Thank you Don

So what your sayin is every stone piece with a blade is beveled

bi-facially sharpened points or blades would be double beveled, like the celt. then many types are just re-sharpened from one side, like the right hand bevel you are probably thinking about. So, to answer your question, more often than not, in one way or another, yes.

What your sayin is everything that is not straight is beveled?? Curved, angled, rounded?? How bout we just agree to disagree..... HH

I'd rather straighten this out than agree to disagree. Especially if you want to keep saying celts are not beveled.

Perhaps you should look up the definition of bevel and it's relation to two lines running parallel. A bevel is one way to get those two lines to meet. You could do it with a curve as well. The angle or a radius would/could be the measure of the meeting of them.
