Think I may have found an old Indian Cutting Tool.

I think you just found a sharp rock.

Looks too thick in my completely uneducated opinion

Still has buffalo blood on it. Cool find!

I laughed way too hard at that.

Here is one from the internet. I think y'all are over thinking knife. This rock was held in the hand to cut. It didn't have a handle or anything. Very primitive.

Was def worked. Could have been used for scraping or just a rough piece used to cut but not necessarily a knife that once had a handle.

Cool find though. Absolutely an artifact

My wife is Cherokee. I’ll ask her and let you know.

It's their de-boner tool.

Those will slice the shite out of you too. They seem dull, but when you apply a little pressure and a saw motion, the microscopic millions of razor sharp daggers along the edge will open up your skin like jello.

I learned this one night at the UGA archaeology lab.

Looks like a slice of ham to me.

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.
