I believe they all started out as points or knives but they will work them down all of way until the piece is exhausted. Scrapers were probably used more than points and were an important tool for everyday life.

They would have been used for fleshing hides, scraping bark, fleshing vegetables, etc.

Guess I just call them scrapers!
