what kind of point is this?

I found this a month ago. I play with my artifacts a lot moving them around seprating colors, or age, anyway I was looking at this one..and I have always thought it was broken but now I don't believe it is. What kind of point is it? I can find it in my book anywhere. Thanks!

small blade - possibly hand held because one side looks more like a use/cutting side than the other

I would call that a blank.
A work in progress.
I believe these were often roughly shaped a their sourse of flint, to be carried to another location to be finished.
Much better than carrying large chunks of flint.
