Broadhead knives
« on: December 13, 2008, 11:37:00 AM »
Can anyone give me any tips on making these? I really like the way they look! I would think you just drill a hole in the wood/antler or whatever material you are using and epoxy it in?? Thanks for any help!

You summed it up Adam.
Glue in an insert if you want to change up the blade styles.

Yep, just drill a hole a epoxy an insert. You can make all kinds of wood/antler handles. Its a fun and handy little knife to have. Here are some that I made a good while ago.

WOW!! Those are some great and interesting knives. I must have been living under a rock because I've never seen or heard of a broadhead knife before.

I have a question for the guys that make these knives. Do you dull one of the sides or keep both sharp? I have some Magnus blades tha tI am going to glue in some antler I have laying around to make a couple of nech knives.

Was reading this post and decided to make these for the sons.(they work in a warehouse lots of box cutting) I figgured these would be a fun little X,Mas gift. They caught me making them.

Now they have been using them for the past week at work. They were here for dinner last night. Now 250 coworkers want one. Not happening.LOL

These are easy to make but looking at Lewis handles these little quickies become works of art.

As far as sharpening one son only wanted one side the other two wanted both sides.

I dulled the top edge on the ones I made. To make sure nobody would cut themselves. LOL
