The steels from a circular saw I actually killed my first buck with a Longbow and the first one in velvet I think last week with one of these it was great.

Well done Gio! Weight, thickness, temper, Rockwell? Will they shave? Really great nock end too! Good deer. Thanks for the pix.

Fantastic looking arrows.

I guess my question is how did you cut the heads from circular saw blades?  Is it a simple process or one that involves a tool not many guys have?

I cut them out with a dremel then used a rough file to get the bevel then a finer one to get then shaving sharp. The odd one was from a set of copperhead arrows that was left over

Speak of the devil... I have been wanting to do exactly that lately.  Neat.  I was thinking that a saw blade, preferably well used, would be tempered and make excellent heads.  Is it thick enough that you can file in a single bevel, or did you double bevel them?  Just curious.
