Trad points

(1/3) > >>

Fox:
I've smithed a few trad points out of some files, but they took really forever and were a pain to smith because of being so little to hold onto.... how do you all make metal trad points? :P

Pat B:
I assume you are talking about trade points. You can cut them out of old saw blades, circular saws, wide band saws or even hand saws. There may even be folks on Trading Post that would trade with you for them.

Fox:
yeah that's what I mean pat :P
right that makes sense just cutting them from saw blades or the likes

Pat B:
Yes, and most saw blades have excellent steel. Band saws and older circular saw blades.

Buck67:
I make trade points from the steel bands from old whiskey barrels.  One barrel will make a lot of arrow heads.  10 minutes with a hacksaw and a file and ready to go.
