Hmmm... do you see what I see?  Perhaps some pre-history points, including true arrow points, were hafted the way you see in the first, second, and last pictures.  Maybe some knives were hafted in this way also??

Definately a hafted knife use for a different purpose.  That would work on big gator gars or for a primitive gator hunt. I think seals or out these days.  ::)  Patrick, that is very cool. Be sure to bring some of your homemade goodies to the Classic for me to drool on!  ;)  8)

Very cool thanks for shareing we have an abundance of seals here I wonder if the local indians used to bring seals into the boats like we do? We get a salmon on and the seal is usually holding onto the tail as you real your fish in.
