Title: In the market for some trade points
Post by: WhistlingBadger on April 04, 2026, 05:09:55 pm
I'd really like to get some trade points, maybe half a dozen of them, made of decent steel.  Damascus would look incredibly cool but I'm guessing it would cost a LOT.  I'd settle for regular, high carbon steel.  2.5" long, 1" wide, with straight edges, a 1 x 3/8" tang, and a left bevel. 

Something like this.  https://drive.google.com/file/d/15X0ufyQHClA7DAf--Z4cuHUaaRH8cAcz/view?usp=drive_link

I've been told they're pretty easy to make, but so far haven't found anybody that would actually do them, at least not for a reasonable price.  I plan to use these for hunting elk so I don't want to pay so much that I'll be afraid to take them up in the mountains and bang them around.  Any of you forgers interested?
