A tip for a bone anchor having cutting edges that converge at an end of the body to form a point and thus define a series of cutting faces. The cutting faces can be planar or curved, and can also be multi-faceted. The tip may include a broach that extends parallel or at an angle relative to tip. The broach may be partially or fully interrupted by one of the cutting faces. The tip is designed to be coupled to any variety of bone anchor types, including those with mechanical retention structures, that change shape in response to insertion into a bone, or that have threads for advancing the anchor into a bone. The anchor and the body may be integrally formed together, and the anchor and the body may be formed from different materials.
