Broad-head arrows are a very effective way of felling and killing game.
While they are illegal in some states for regular hunting, in a survival situation, where civil law has broken down or if you are stranded in the wilderness, they could be a life saver.
Using a spoon to fashion a very sharp and effective weapon is easy and it is legal to make them and throw them in your survival kit or bug-out bag.
You will need a metal spoon, plumber's torch, hammer, grinding tool, workbench vice or anvil service and a carpenter's pencil or Sharpie for marking the spoon.
If you do not have access to these tools (say in an emergency situation,) you can improvise to fashion your arrow.
A Note of Caution: Hunting with a broad-head arrow is illegal in some states. Check your state laws before attempting this project.

I buy spoons at yard sales just for this. I thought I was the only one. Also I polish mine, it smooths the metal for better performance. And don’t forget to temper them, you don’t want them to bend. Get creative with the shapes and designs. Great post, I think I’ll make some tomorrow.

Nathan Vinkler you must check this out. John Halifax how do you temper the ones you make?

I’m interested in how you heat treat them and what hardness they are after. Do they flex? Do you also temper them?
