THE EDGES SEEM VERY SHARP
MAYBE INTERCHANGEABLE SPEAR POINTS OR ARROW TIPS?
OR MAYBE FOR POISON HUNTING DARTS ETC?
IN CASE YOU MISSED WITH THE FIRST SHOT THE POISON WOULD BE RUBBED OFF WHEN IT HIT THE GROUND OR BUSHES AND EACH HAS A LITTLE NOTCH JUST AT THE HILT WHICH MIGHT ALLOW A QUICK CHANGE IN THE FIELD?
They look like interchangeable spear tips? but?
I thought of spears but couldn't work out why a set of such similar tips?
Wondering if they could be some sort of trappers spikes ??
Maybe stick them in the ground in a hole and wait til something or someone falls on them !!
Maybe growing knives ..
Throwing knives
I've seen spear tips used in some tribes the shafts made from nature would break or get damaged but the tips could be re-used, Still only a guess that's what these are tho.
Dobókés ?
No, I don't think so Karl.
