Ave,
Reference the photos posted as flint strikers. I have seen very similiar objects identified as Roman Razors.
The flint strikers that I am familiar with are all iron and come in various shapes , Sort of a " C " shape , while others have more of a "P" shape and then there are sort of flat ones.
The shapes seem to come and go over the centuries. The "C ' shaped ones were very prevalent on the american frontier.
