Need help identifying this one

[Cachefind09]

I found this today in a field while out hunting arrowheads. About 30 years ago I found a trade axe in the same area but this one appears to be a knife or dagger tool. If anybody has any information about it I would like to know.

Looks like a Spontoon style axe.

Thanks for that information diggummup, I think you identified it. This one is just a different style and there were probably many others.

Looks like it was made for one purpose to me, a cranium smasher. I would call it a war club, but I could be wrong. Excellent find thanks for sharing. If you have a metal detector go back to that spot.

If I ever get a hold of a detector that will be the first spot I go to because a silver cross was found in a same location.

Anytime you are in the area I would be more than welcome to take you to the spot. I was actually going to get a detector but I became overwhelmed at decided which one to get so I gave up. There are just to many to choose from.

Sweet! Called a eyed dag in the trade lists. Pretty rare.

If I ever get in the area I will definitely let you know. Ohio is pretty far though.
