Broadhead knife?
« on: June 07, 2010, 10:41:00 AM »
Anybody out there have any pictures they can post of their broadhead knife and sheath?  I am making one out of a Deadhead and antler today.  I'd like to see what others have made.  I will post a pic of mine when I get it finished.

There is one in the St. Jude Auctions with a Back quiver sheath.

Nothing fancy, Just some I put together one rainy day. They do work well and make great gifts.

Here's where I'm at right now with it.  I should have asked this question earlier.  I filed the antler down.  I think I will make a new handle with the insert in it.

Shlep, that's sweet! Nice Idea for the 'hook!  :thumbsup:

I've thought of this over the years, just never did. Now I'm inspired.

Great pics and knives, Gentlemen!

Drill bit just a hair bigger than the insert and super glue is what I always used.

So a friend saw this post some time back and mentioned it to me to look at. We go to a ranch in TX each year for a hunt and take the owners somethng as a gift. Gene thought that something like this would make an cool gift.

Well a good friend and hunting partner just turned 50. So for his birthday I thought I would try my hand at the Broadhead Knife as a gift.

So here is my rendition of the Broadhead Knife. Elk brow tine handle (shed found on one of our hunts together). Tradepoint is of my own make, think el grande without the ferrel. I double beveled it for the knife. Copper hefting. Solo stalker style sheath has a belt loop attachment and is of my own making.

OK Boys, I was hoping someone else would ask this question but I guess I'm the one who will have to blink first:

This is pretty slick stuff but what would you use a broadhead knife for?  Is this strictly ornamental?

I know I am going to feel like an idiot when the answer comes but I am sometimes a little slow on the uptake.
