They are made from old reciprocating saw blades.They are 7/8 inches wide and 2.5 inches long. They weigh from 130 to 148 grains.Not bad for not weighing while shaping and grinding! I'll get them all down to around 120-125 grains in the next couple of days. Thanks for looking..... Bill

Canuck Archer:
I have reciprocating saw blades but they seem very soft, and bend rather easily.  Did you heat treat your points?  What size of saw blade do you use?  I have an old table saw blade, have you ever tried making arrow heads out of that? 

HickoryBill:
The blade type was a demolition blade. The blade itself was fairly thick and the points won't bend easily. Most saws all blades are high carbon steel andtake a good edge.
