Looks like the business end of a broken point

Certainly looks like it's been knapped.

It’s fully Knapped on all sides. Not broken. That’s why i thought it was odd. Haven’t seen a shape like this before

In that case I would say thumbnail scraper. I couldn't tell it was worked on all sides.

I was looking at it closer and I think your right, looks like it may have been a full point that broke and they worked it down to be a scraper. Thanks!
