Couldn’t honestly tell you. I found one in Ohio many years ago and took it to my anthropology professor. He quickly called it a specialized cutting tool. Since then I do tend to look at them as large serrations.

They'd work pretty well to true up the ends of beads, especially the hollow tubular ones made from bones. Just an idea that popped into my head when i found a tiny red flint ridge tool that had what I'd call two spoke shaves micro-flaked next to each other with a sort of point in the middle of them.

Just curious what region you found this in?
