Damascus broadheads....

My goodnes they are beautiful
They look really nice mate.

How heavy are they?
That really is a lovely piece. Quite big though. Would need a solid high poundage bow and war shafts, not the usual hunting shafts. I think it would make an awesome small knife with straight through tang. The steel should be top class (if the description is genuine & not one of these "sintered steel" jobs that are all the rage in Custom knife circles)

If genuine, I honestly don't know how they can do them at that price??? I quite fancy one myself - for a small knife - but then again I've got adequate already. Too valuable to practice with & then maybe for actual use also. Nice piece of art/weapon porn though! lol TL
Doesnt say tht I can see about the weight but theres many a bargain to be had on Ebay for archery equipment. Funnily enough I was looking for something completely different when I stumbled upon their archery section and saw their many wonders!! some things are cheaper on Ebay than the specialist shops some things are not so you have to do the compare the meercat on them, Ebays saved me a fortune on stuff it realy has.

This damascus steel has 760 layers built up from 1095 High Carbon Steel and 15N20 Swedish Bandsaw Steel and has been ground, tempered and sharpened to a knife like edge sharp enough to cut paper.

The point itself is 33mm (one and a quarters inches) across and 55mm (two and a quarter inch) long giving you plenty of spare sharpening space. The tang is 45 mm long (one and three quarters of an inch) long.
Hefty weight though I would say, longbow jobby.
i have been looking at the archery stuff on ebay myself Mike, having bought some expensive broadheads £36 for 6 with postage there are some cheaper ones on ebay. i think this one would probably make a better spearpoint given the weight of it.
