Is this real or fake

[Kari]

A friend of mine sent me this and wanted to know if it was real or fake. She does not know where it was found. The AH is very large. I know you cannot tell by the picture but it is approx. 3" long. Any thoughts?

Looks like a well used authentic point to me. The base area reminds me of arena but it may be much older.

[Kari]

Thanks for your thoughts, it is just the size of it makes it seem a bit strange!

Kari, I moved you post to Artifact Questions -and- Answers.
I see nothing to say it is a fake. Looks real to me.

[JR]

Looks authentic to me too, most fakes look to good to be true. Nice real point.

[JoshinMO]

I see what your saying, probably a knife or projectile point though not shot from a bow. Its the shape that's strange to me though I found a point that looks similar, will post pic when I find it. It may have been made a bit crude but maybe damage shaped a bit also? Neat Artifact.

[Kari]

Thanks, again!

I agree that nothing screams fake. At 3 inches it is probably a reworked knife form.

Yep looks authentic to me.
Like the others I do agree.
Looks so black!!! Almost charcoal it's so black.

Hey Kari, that point looks good to me as well. I am not familiar with the material! Get your garden plowed up and find ya some more!
