I think it's a rock!
The rock in the picture looks like a rock. There is a knife used by Farrier's for trimming horse hooves called a frog knife. But it don't look like a rock. It's a thin bladed knife that is bent at the end in a hook shape.

1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

sorry got to agree with all the others, looks like a rock to me.
Notice the concave lines on the upper left side of the stone. The "feet" have a sharp edge. The single tooth in the center provides a snag to help slice whatever you are cutting.

Sorry man, not seeing it. Still looks like a rock to me.
For cutting grasses ?
Any rock with a natural formed edge can be used for that task (within reason) so i gotta agree that its just a rock
A wise person does at once, what a fool does at last. Both do the same thing; only at different times.
If it looks like a rock, lays on the ground like a rock and picks up and throws like a rock. It's a rock.
I still have some pristine fossilized Terrafirmasaurus eggs for sale!

I think this tool may have been used for cutting and knapping Bones.

If you're not sure if it's a rock, try throwing it at something.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
Just wondering...who are the "experts"? and now I see you are arguing with then.....
Lets see if we can figure this one out.Originally Posted by Riverrat
"Expert" is 2 words
"Ex" as in a "has been" or "used to be but ain't no more"
"Spurt" as in a "drip or drop under pressure" Kinda like a squirt.
Now I wonder how many folks that describes?

If you just did what I suggested all of this would be so unnecessary.

The easiest way to identify a stone that was once used as a tool is to find a straight line on it. Since there are no truly straight lines in nature. I don't really see any straight lines on this rock. I can see that it looks like it would fit comfortably in the hand, and it is the same approximate shape of several hand adzes that I have seen before. However, I don't see any obvious signs that it has had an edge worked onto it anywhere. Maybe the edge was ground instead of flaked, or has just worn off with time. But I have to agree with everyone else, it merely looks like a conveniently shaped rock.
"When young men seek to be like you, when lazy men resent you, when powerful men look over their shoulder at you, when cowardly men plot behind your back, when corrupt men wish you were gone and evil men want you dead; Only then will you have done your share." -Phil Messina
I guess if you spend enough time with a rock it could convince you that it is almost anything other than a rock and then you might take its side and defend it. I think they call it "Stockholm syndrome".

Now that there's funny, I don't care who you are.
My rocks are interesting. they describe how a job was done by someone in the past,and they also had visual appeal. The Frog Knife is is good example of that.
