I found an old point broke at base and a piece that was worked and looks like a knife. Any knowledge or opinions on these would be great

The last piece is your best one. In my opinion it looks like a reduction flake from manufacturing with secondary edge work meaning it was made and used for a purpose like it is. A quick expendable tool. Good eye. Many people collect and study such pieces as yours. They are an important part of the puzzle.They also cause a lot of debate and speculation. A unifaced tool used by all time frames not just paleo.
