Description
This Wide Broadhead arrowhead is forged from high carbon steel, a material known for its strength and durability. The surface has been left with a rough polish, showcasing the marks of the smith’s hammer and giving it a rugged, utilitarian look true to functional weaponry of old. The arrowhead is unsharpened, allowing for customization according to the needs of the archer or reenactor.
Because each arrowhead is individually handcrafted, the diameter of the open socket may vary slightly. It’s wise to acquire the arrowheads first and measure each socket carefully before selecting the shaft size to ensure a proper fit. This reflects the reality of historical craftsmanship, where no two pieces were exactly alike.
Fun fact: Blackened Wide Broadhead arrowheads were often treated with heat and oil to create a darkened surface, a process that helped protect the steel from rust while also reducing glare that might give away an archer’s position in the field.
