Stevens Steel Trade Points Reviews

Great Points

Aaron117
5 years ago

I've been buying these points for years. They used to be smaller but these new ones are much larger. They are fairly durable and have some weight to them. A bit difficult to sharpen, but I use a rasp so that may be why. Razor sharp when finished.

you CANNOT file nocks for these, you will need to split the shaft and insert the arrowhead, then wrap and glue the crack in the shaft. also you have to shappen these yourself, it is lots of fun.

Great broadheads for the cost

these points tie on with ease, fly straight and have delivered killing shots on our local groundhog population.

I've used them only for targets so far an the work well, except when useing a tough target like wood or a plastic umberella holder. Doing so will push the tips into the arrow spliting it a little.

Improve Your Sharpening Skills On These

These are what they are; flat tool grade banding steel shaped to a basic trade point. If you want a broadhead ready for use out of the box, these are not for you. But if you like to make your own gear but want the major task of shaping your point from a steel blank out of the way, these could be thought of as your diamonds in the rough. Artistic expression and creativity can read more be nicely used on these. These are not sharpened but the large ones are well tempered and took an edge fairly well. The smaller game heads are a little more difficult to sharpen. At more than half the price of some of the other trade points and the basic shaping work already done, it is good way to practice your sharpening skills before you get near your really good broadheads and make some points that could take a little less careful sharpening treatment without feeling bad about it. These heads have allowed me to experiment with edge angles and broadhead types by sharpening with a single cut mill file and a pocket knife stone. I have done a broadhead with a 'Dr. Ashby' type single bevel with one of the larger trade heads and it came out rather nice and beautifully sharp. I also intend to get a little creative and try some decorative edges by filing a serrated edge with some round files on one these pre-shaped arrowhead blanks. I will probably even try to file shape some other point styles using these; maybe even some fishing points.

Asked by Nack 7 years ago

How does one usually put the first initial edge/bevel on these? (While getting consistent bevel angle(s)) I thought maybe I should just try using a dremel tool while the point is secured in a bench vise. I do have a belt sander and belt grinder to wo

Any of the tools you mention would probably work if you are fami 7 years ago

Asked by Nack of all Trades 7 years ago

I'd imagine most people don't go through the trouble of trying to put on a fancy bevel for the edge, like concave or convex. So, what angle bevel would be recommended?

I would recommend a 25° bevel. 7 years ago

Trade points should never be pre-sharpened. These are not sharp when you get them. Not to be used for blunts. These will kill even if not sharpened.

Asked by DKR 13 years ago

Are these even legal for hunting big game?

No, these points are intended for small game and replica arrows 13 years ago

No, these points are intended for small game and replica arrows only.

Actually they would be legal in at least 1 state. Alaska require 5 years ago

Actually they would be legal in at least 1 state. Alaska requires a steel broad head (can't use flint, etc) minimum 7/8 inch wide with a total arrow weight of at least 300 grains.The concernis not legal but smart. My concern is that the points are too soft and would fold up like paper on hitting a bone or even tough soft tissue. Also don't know if the steel used has enough carbon to be hardenable plus the flat structure of the point would likely leave it a bit weak. Legal? Yes. Foolish? Probably also yes.
