Triangle Blade???

Found this on Christmas day. What I thought was a broken point with atleast 50% missing. But after holding this piece for two days I think it is a Triangle blade with only a small piece missing along the side. Any Opinions?

If you could show some shots of the ends that would be great. My thought is it looks like a broken tip of a blade of some kind.

FWIW, it looks like what it is -- a triangular cutting tool. Not a broken anything.

FWIW, You are correct, it is a Triangle Tool. It is also BROKE. I thought it was a broken Point. Then I decided it was a Triangle. I was curious if anyone else had one or had seen one. It may have been a Point, It would have been a wide short stubby one. I will never know.

Found on Christmas, What a beautiful day!!!


Thanks, sixeight


P.S. Sorry my pics always s#ck. I wish I had a decent camera!

Can we see a pic of the side you think is broken off? is it a clean snap or are there other small impacts (like a backing)?

Edit: bookmarked this... will post a pic of something rougher but similar tomorrow...
