Description
This socketed large-headed hunting arrowhead is forged from high carbon steel, a material prized for its strength and durability. The broadhead remains unsharpened, allowing the hunter to finish the edge to their preference or for display purposes. The open socket at the base is designed to fit securely onto a wooden shaft, a common practice among traditional fletchers and bowyers.
Because each arrowhead is shaped by hand, the diameter of the socket can vary slightly. It’s wise to acquire the arrowheads first and then measure each socket carefully to ensure a proper fit with your chosen shaft. This method reflects the craftsmanship of historical blacksmiths, who often tailored their work to the specific needs of the archer.
Fun fact: Large curved broadhead arrowheads like this were often used in hunting larger game, as their shape helped create wider wounds, increasing the chances of a successful hunt.
