Arrowheads weren’t just tools—they were often traded like money. Tribes valued them for their usefulness and skillful craftsmanship, making them a form of early currency in Native American trade long before coins came along.

A solid 3.5" Native American flint knife blade, showcasing classic utilitarian craftsmanship and heavy percussion flaking.

This piece leans toward function over symmetry, with broad flake scars and a thicker profile typical of working blades used for cutting, scraping, or general camp use. The surface shows natural patina and age-consistent wear, with no modern polishing—just honest field character.

Material appears to be a brown flint/chert, with a rugged, earthy look that highlights the raw knapping process.

A great addition for collectors who appreciate:

• Functional tools over refined points
• Visible flaking patterns and knapping technique
• Heavier, thicker blade forms
• Authentic, unaltered artifacts

Not every piece was made to be perfect—this one was made to be used.
