Knife shaped object, Bone Dagger, any info would be appreciated.

I was told it is pre-Columbian, it's bone (probably deer). My parents told me it was human bone, I assume just to freak me out. It came from a Pennsylvanian museum auction in the 70's. Anyone have something similar? Thanks for looking.

While I'm not sure of what kind of animal it came from, if it is old and south American it is possible to be human. The native tribes did in fact partake in cannibalism, and kept mementos from the people they ate.
