Surely the last point is not a double corner tang? Nice shaft tool too.

Last one is 2 points being knapped out of single piece.

I think you're right! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
 

that piece being turned into two points is amazing, really great find!
 

I look at that double snapped one and I wonder if they were trying to make 2 out of 1.
Another try on the one piece.

Then was the shape and the possible application it was intended for as it is now.
My 1st impression was the flat side sat against the shaft, and the notched sides were for the sinew to be securing it to the shaft.
The rounded side was for the intended use.
