F6 does look a bit like a pressure flaker to me. At least if I picked it up, that's what I'd use it for.
There again, it also looks like one of my bone folders.

F5 could well be a punch or a punch handle, also F9 and F10 look rather like abrading stones.

The tools make more sense when you see the antler hafted.

By the way I'd get the nettles soon as they will be dying back in a couple of months.

Beautiful is it flat on the other side? Did you detatch a livre de beurre flake?
Also a touch of synchonicity as I made plano-convex knife (slug knife) myself today. Just gottat retouch it and I'll get the pic up.

It is flat and plain on the reverse, as for the pound of butter core, it was something similar, had some sausage shaped black flint but it was full of chalk pockets so I harvested some long flakes from it and just ended up using it on this project!

Nice work, it's a bit odd not having to worry about the imaginary centre line! Have you tried knapping a sickle blade?
