Has anyone actually hafted their arrowheads to something, or even perhaps made a somewhat permanent haft to their arrowhead of some sort? I would love to see pics of what you all have done with your arrowheads. I don't have one yet myself, but I'm planing on one for christmas and then I might put up some of my own inventions with the arrowhead.
Merry Christmas all!
Thanks!

Not yet! Got four of them. One is gonna be a dedicated striker for the fire steel. I hate dragging my blade acorss the steel! I plan on mounting one to an stick for a spear of sorts. Maybe Ill use dental floss to fasten it. Hmmm-Then Im going squirrel hunting to see if I can auctually get one....

I decided to put the arrowhead between the wood so i had to split it, have no other ESEE knife to do this task, so a little blasphemy here in the forum, but i had to kick the A1 in here :D

By pressing the izula on a lower part i could easily slide the arrowhead between the wood.

I only had some fishing lure with me, so that is what i used

Like i said: i`m a knot-noob so i was trying different things out... After yesterday i noticed i still need to gain more knot-skills... Back to the boy-scouts for me :rolleyes:

So, this is the fail knot:

First throw on a old sawed of tree

So the arrowhead moved inside of the wood...

After the arrowhead moved i carefully slide it back into place. Tis is where i started stabbing the wood around 10 times.

And again the arrowhead slided...this time backwards :jerkit:

Well, i figured i would adjust the holder more, so the izula helped me getting the arrowhead out of there fast ;)

So, after cutting in the wood some more i already saw this would gonna fail on me. Plus: time was running out already so i did not finish this.

Well, i read on the forums that some people thought the arrowhead would be a good fire starter as well... so i tried that out.

I noticed that you need to put a sharp angle on the firesteel to make it work good. The coating of the arrowhead is making contact also pretty fast.

I made 20 strokes with he arrowhead to see how the coating + edge would hold up. And they did as expected, very good

After wiping the ....well i`m dutch so i dont know the word exactly. It was just the smoky stuff :p

So that was my fail, but fun afternoon!

I found 6 different sheathing solutions too. I could post all the sheaths as well. :p
