Description
This serrated arrowhead is forged from high carbon steel, a material prized for its hardness and durability in the field. The arrowhead features a socketed tang, designed to fit securely onto the wooden shaft of an arrow. Note that this particular piece is left unsharpened, allowing the user to finish the edge to their preferred cutting style and sharpness.
Each arrowhead is shaped by hand, so the diameter of the open socket may vary slightly from one to another. It’s wise to acquire the arrowheads first and then measure each socket carefully to ensure a proper fit with your arrow shafts. This practice helps maintain the integrity of the connection and the overall performance of the arrow in flight.
Fun fact: Serrated leafblade arrowheads were sometimes used not just for penetration but to cause more grievous wounds, as the jagged edges could tear flesh more extensively than smooth blades, increasing their effectiveness in hunting or warfare.
