Tomahawk? Hoe?

[scotto]

I didn't find this, but a landowner who lets me hunt their place found it.

Looks like a little tomahawk, axe, or a hoe. Thoughts?

The quality of the flint and knapping makes me guess it was not used as a hoe. It looks like its to sharp. Probably a ancient personal weapon--tomahawk. It is a very well made and it looks like from the chip on the blade that somebody got whacked with that thing. Thanks for the pic. I really how unique it is.

I'd say it's unfinished. It's got the general shape of a hoe blade but a little small. I can't see where you would attach it to be an axe, but could be either one, I guess.

Axe/hand chopping tool is my guess. Nice!

The relic has the general shape and configuration of a cobbs knife that has had many resharpenings and/or been damaged and then resharpened.
