When held in the left hand, the secondary working would protect the finger from both sides when using either of the two gravers on either side of the bulb of percussion. When held in the right hand the flint could be used as a knife, with the index finger resting on the cortex. Part of the cortex has been removed to form a hollow scraper. On the opposite side of the knife blade there has been secondary working carried out, presumably to strengthen the edge.
