These are the first two I found on the little shell hill before the shell point.
I've also included three more worn out knives I found on the same midden but not at the little hill. The Texas coast has no workable stone for about a hundred miles either direction. They totally exhausted all flint that was traded in.
That's why we find so much in bone tools.

Our "midden" points along the W. Central FL coasts look very much like your second pic...along with everything in pic 3. Sweeet!
 
Nice stuff!! I like the odd point.
 
It looks like not too many more touch ups and that knife woulda lost its tip. Really nice all around show.
 
Nice relics.

the point in your hand on the right, it appears to me to be a specialized tool.

What sort of chipping, on both blade faces, can be seen in the area in the photos pointed to below?
