#7  Forged Legal Big Game Broadhead

Finally, I have a few of the first legal primitive big game broadheads for field testing. These points are 2 5/8 inches long overall length. They are 1 1/16 inch wide and legal in all states. The original was forged from a file. I've added shoulders so the arrow rests on three points to better absorb shock on impact with hard objects. (I'm not sure these are necessary. Let me know what you think. It would be easier, and more authentic, to cast them without the shoulders.) These broadheads are cast in our dendritic D2 knife blade steel, tempered to Rockwell 57 then hand-ground and stone sharpened. Then they are acid etched to expose the carbide dendrite micro serrations. Each broadhead weighs 190 grains. These can be sharpened on a stone, but a diamond sharpener is faster in the field.

#8  Stone Legal Big Game Broadhead

This is a LEGAL dendritic D2 knife steel big game broadhead, that was cast from an actual knapped stone point I commissioned. It is 2 3/4 inches long, 1 1/16 inches wide, and the tang is 5/16 wide. It weighs 260 grains. Sorry, that's the lightest I can get them at this time. I hand sharpen the serrated edges with a diamond drum to maintain the jagged edge. These points do not penetrate like a modern broadhead, but they work just like the original stone points did. The serrated edge creates massive tissue damage, and since the back 45 degree bevel is sharpened, they cut on the way in and on the way out to leave a blood trail. These are an experiment. They may be too heavy. They may be too hard to sharpen in the field (I recommend a rat-tail diamond hone) but they are made of the finest knife steel, tempered to Rockwell 58, and they look like stone. I blue them with Birchwood Casey's paste blue after sharpening. Use it to touch them up after hunting if you want them to stay black.
