Giovanni, nice job on the harvests and trade points! A year you won't soon forget, I am sure of! I noticed your points have a little marker camo on them. Made me think of how I've done trade points in the past as I didn't like the shiney look either.
This was my solution to the problem
New unsharpened saw blade trade points
Use some kinda heat source to get'm red hot
Drop in used motor oil
Grind a cutting edge
Oil blackened points with edge
Haft to shafts
Hope you don't mind me putting this in your thread? Thought you might be interested. Not sure if this process hurts the temper of steel but you only need to make one cut so longevity of sharpness is not an issue. Might help to cool water quench the edge as you grind it.
Keep up the hard way of hunting, I am proud of you Sir!

Nice job young man. I'm using a Osage self bow and bamboo horn nocked arrows but have them tipped with Zwickeys. Am looking for some sharp stone points to try. Congrats again.

Oh I really like that idea to blacken them will have to try that. I want to make some stone points soon.
