some BIG sawblades...arrowheads and knife blades

[half eye]

Fellas,
     Here's some stuff I'm making up from some 40 foot bandsaw blades. The steel is .080" thick, and 1" X 2" broadheads weigh about 143 grains. Sent some out to some PA members, but wanted to see how the stuff works. Enjoy the pics.

 Very cool Rich!!! I bet they are some meat stickin blades

[Sparrow]

Wow !  Nice.  There are fine knives in there too.  '  Frank

Rich, I'd bet the arrow heads would be bone splitting at that thickness and weight! How much do they weigh?

[half eye]

Pat... the heads that are 1" X 2" weight 143 grains (depends on how ya grind the edge)......but if ya was to cut tangs on them, or go to 1-1/4" X 3" it's pretty easy to get 'em in the 200 grain range. So far the steel looks like it would handle the longer length.....without folding the tip on impact.

Hillbilly, your gonna find out shortly, sir. Think they would be hell on pigs too.

S/F,   that one in the photo is a little 3-1/2 inch dressing and skining blade I'm doin up for the deer woods.

Atr .080 you shouldn't have to worry about them bending I wouldn't think. I thought they would be heavier. That is a good weight just as they are.

On the side notch points, the base is wider than your cutting edge, that can catch and limit penetration.  Grind the tip so it is even with the inside cutting edge.  At least, that is what I do with stone points.  Bill

looks good!  ill take a few!  lol

 Thanks Rich..Looking forward to finding out just how good of a pig sticker they are

im with Bill,not to mention in states like Mn they would be considerd "barbed" with the notches like that
and that would make them illegal to hunt with

    Now thats a band saw blade. BILL's right grind the back part of your nocks so they set in below the blade. NICE

That's some good work! Jawge

[Mohammad Javad Shoaee]

That's a great arrowhead.how did you cut them?

[half eye]

Hey Fellas,
       Forgot that part.....I did not cut them out.....by having the big blades sheared to 1-1/8 wide I just draw a line in the middle and then go corner to corner on both halves.....and use a shear press to bang them out. I dont have a press but I have some friends at the local welding shop, and they do.
       The picture with the blank and the 4 arrowheads in it is how I lay 'em out to shear them. I used a bench grinder to set the intial edges, then filed then to dress 'em up. and then went to some 800 wet/dry paper  glued to a steel block to get them "scary".

Rich,   
Those look good on the arrows.  They look like killers for sure.  I would probably take that back edge down behind the wrap also.  It would help with penetration.  I can't wait to try some of them.
