Thickness of Bone Points

<< < (5/7) > >>

Andrea S:
Wow, those are gorgeous. I'd have to take the bone I've got and saw it in half thickness-wise to get it close to that thin. How sharp are they?

greenbean:
They will cut you if your not careful. I use a bench grinder then fine sandpaper. To finish them I burnish and polish with leather.

hawkbow:
Andrea, if you decide to hunt with the points, I would suggest some serrations along the edges.. bone tends to be so smoothe that deflection is a problem on slick haired critters...... you can do the serrations with a small file. Pluss they look really cool. Hawk a/ho

Staver:
Just curious, does it help to heat treat bone points to make em tuffer?  Joe H

greenbean:
Heat makes it more brittle and will break easier.
