Awhile back I posted the bottom point & many on here said it was a reworked point into a scraper.Well the other day I was going through some of my brokes & saw the top black one in the mix,& got to looking at my other points & saw that it was matching in style of the one I posted before except it still had a point to it.They nearly look the same & almost look to be work by the same N/A.So I got to thinking back I do believe they came from the same site.So bottom line they are some type of point & not one found very often around here as these two are the only ones I have in my collection & have never seen no others like themthat I recall.
Take Care,
Pete,:hello:

Both reworked into hafted scrapers/knives after the tip broke.. Most hafted scrapers of that style are a reworked point base.
They look like corner notched Kirks to me.

I wouldn't doubt that some of the damage on those.. On the base.. Happened while re working still in the haft. Any change in patina where the damage is?

I've got a doctor app.to go to now,but can tell you the black one broke because to me that part was a poorer grade material & located kinda in a falt line on it.Gotta go man going be late.Thanks

I hear ya ,maybe the top one a knife the bottom a scraper?
 

That's what I'm thinking.
I've found a couple reworked on an angle that looks specifically to act as a knife. Nice examples you have there.
 

I dont know if you have any Evans points in your area but the base looks like one. No doubt they have been reworked though. Nice find
