re: Think I may have found an old Indian Cutting Tool.

Found a lot of cutting tools around the Catahoula Lake area. The ones we found were held in the palm of the hand, no handle. The shape and edge was a lot more refined than the piece you found. Having said that, the shape would probably vary with the age of the tool. My grandfathers pocket knife didn't look like the knives of today. It definitely looks like someone started forming an edge. But we found literally piles of partially made points and tools that broke wrong and were tossed.

Good find. Cutting tools come in all shapes. After a good rain you could probably find a few more.

This is defiantly one that fits in your palm and as far as the edge goes....it's pretty sharp. I'm sure it's wore down and weathered but it's still sharp enough to cut flesh. Probably a tool used to scrape deer hide or something of the such. Need some warmer weather.... water was pretty damn cold. They have some natural springs in my area that feed into the creek. Warmer weather is welcomed in open arms.
