  • Is this a spear point or knife?

    This point is just under 4 inches. Found in Mineral County, Nevada. I grew up being told that these were knives, but I’m also curious if it could have been a large spear point. Thanks!

    Hey J, I think it's a Wahuza and was used as a knife. BTW That's a beautiful artifact.

      My guess is knife as well.
      Far too thin to be useful as a spear point in my opinion.
