base: The base is the proximal or end portion of a knife, tool or projectile point. The base is usually designed for hafting or gripping, but not designed or intended for cutting, scraping or penetrating. Oftentimes, base edges were ground so that sharp edges would not abrade the hafting materials and cause hafting failure with use. The bottom part of a point or knife.
