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.

This is a substantial Native American flint knife blade, expertly worked from dark chert with a striking natural red mineral inclusion running through the center. The piece shows classic bifacial flaking, a comfortable hand-held shape, and the broader surface area typical of knives used for hide work, processing game, or general cutting tasks.

Features:
Material: Dark Chert / Flint
Size: Larger than standard arrow points (knife/workblade class)
Flaking: Distinct bifacial percussion flaking
Highlight: Red inclusion gives it excellent visual character
Condition: Fully intact, no modern reworking
Region: Ohio / Midwest
Age: Likely Late Archaic to Woodland Period (1,500–4,000+ years old)

A visually impressive, rugged tool that would have been essential in daily life. Perfect centerpiece for a display tray or artifact collection.
