Atlatl Valley triangular knife blade which changes

color from black to silver when it is turned at

a hastily made blade, and was probably intended

as a preform for an arrowhead but was used as a
|
|

|
knife blade in the interim. It has a diagonal "slice"
|

to 1 edge running from the tip for 3/8" along the
