I agree with stumpkiller. Think it would work very nicely in a cane shaft. Or, if you know a machinist, could perhaps machine down and thread the stems so they would fit a standard insert.

The "little" black bear in my avatar photo was killed with a Damascus trade point.

I would be afraid to loose them too. Maybe you could make a couple of "presentation" type arrows. Fancy, go-to-meeting type arrows that hang on the wall. That way you could use and show them but not risk loosing them. They are beautiful but probably more valuable as a memento from your friend than as a working head. Lots of good working heads around, not many hand made damascus broadheads.

I could be wrong, but that looks more like a presentation/re-enactment broadhead to me. I'd want to know it was strong enough to hold a sharp edge before using it for actual hunting.
