I think I would use a roll pin. I like the simplicity of your broadhead.

Thank you for the explanation, Pat. Really good stuff ...love it!
I have circular saw blades staged for the same purpose.
Is there a certain property about the band saw blade steel that makes it better/more appropriate than circular saw steel?
I could imagine the circular saw steel being more ridged...too much so? Metallurgy can be very in complicated, I know.

These band saw blades are hardened steel, not so much that they can't be worked without annealing first. Older circular saw blades are hardened like the band saws but the newer ones, from what I've heard, are milder steel and only hardened out near the teeth. I've made good broadheads out of older circular saw blades. I've tried old hand saws but they are usually a bit thin for broadheads. IMO.
