Hard to say from your pics. I don't see any edge work from them.
It is better to burn out than fade away.

I see fine flaking along that entire left edge in the first two pictures. I would say yes it is a flake knife. No I cannot give an age or affiliation to the blade as these were made from Paleo until woodland.
Nice looking piece thanks for the show.

Usually when i find a piece like that i consider them to be a hide scraper of some sort especially when there is secondary flaking as is on your piece, thanks for sharing
