Found this yesterday... jasper, nicely made, water worn, can't tell if it's broken or not! I was thinking broken brewerton eared, halfted scraper, or a small knife of some kind. The area that looks broken is not a clean break... it appears to be a series of flakes and chips smoothed over by the water (or at least, that's what I think. So... I can't confirm if it's broken or not.) It's also more beefy than it is flat... so I don't think it's a broken triangle point. What do you think this thing is?

Almost has a spoke shave look to it.
 

I have one very similar to that one. I'll try to find it and post a pic.
 

It might have been broken and then reworked and repurposed. Very Nice!
 

I go along with willjo it looks like a spoke shave or some type of multi tool. Cool find:thumbsup:
 

The incurvate edge is very common with Woodland triangles. And the most common break seen on triangles is at the corner. Not sure why, but the most common damage when a triangle is damaged is at one corner only. And you can see there is a break at one corner that is water worn. The tip as well has slight damage. Not sure what region you found it in but I have seen hundreds of Levanna triangles with the exact same form and one broken corner. Just my best guess......
 

Water leaves a nice polish and stain but does kill the flaking and edge work sometimes. No guesses except for a very nice eye appeal from me.
