Blade nick or extra notch?

[DiversionHound]

I believe this to be a Lost Lake made of Muldraugh/Ft Payne which I found in Bullitt Co KY.

I've always wondered if it has a big blade nick or if it's possibly an extra notch in attempt to salvage the blade. It seems like one barb was perhaps lost in resharpening so the maker possibly added a notch??

The blade edge breakage does not look modern at least. The tip does have a nick that I think is more modern as the color of the flint is a little darker.

What do you guys think? Just a big nick or an attempt to salvage and add a notch?

Looks to be a intentional made spokeshave i.m.o.
very nice, and early find….👍

I agree it looks like it was a multi tool with spokeshave.

Very nice find. Many “projectile points” were multipurpose tools. An examination of many of our points would likely demonstrate this fact. This illustration may not be the best, but tries to get the idea across…..

This is great information. I really appreciate it. Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot guys! It's really eye opening. I guess a lot of these tools were like swiss army knives.
