Is the bottom worn smooth? That would be an indicator it was a scraper. It is pretty large for one, though.

I would say it saw some use by the CLEAR edge photos (nice job). Just a sharp edge that completed whatever quick task it needed to. I dont think I would "classify" it any further than that. Keep hunting, I would say you may find greater things there... Just my opinion.
