about a broadhead not complete arrow

not sure what your asking but if its to do with carrying in public legally then yes it would be covered By S139
this law covers all Sharply pointed or Bladed articles
these need a specific Reason to carry in public (unless on the Offensive weapons list when you cant at all)
the only exemption to this is a Folding pocket knife Sub 3" cutting edge non locking which can be carried with out specific reason
there is no specific mention of Fixed blades at all and the only exception is a knife as above

Under S139a CJA I believe any sharp arrowhead would fall under the legislation if in a public place (being an article which is sharply pointed)

So if you're sub 3 inch non locking knife's blade brakes off while you're in a public place, the blade suddenly becomes illegal
there is no Knife ruling
its a law against pointed and bladed article of all and any type
the only exemption is a knife
so theoretically you cant carry a sharpened pencil just incase you may need to write some thing
But you can carry a un sharpened pencil and a folding pocket knife to sharpen it when needed

No Not illegal its your having it in public thats illegal or not and proving reason to
Technically but your using it (knives don't just snap in your pocket) so would have good reason
it should be acceptable that your pocket knife snapped and your now transporting the fixed blade for disposal
when the judge says so English law is written to have interpretation at all levels which is the best and worst part of it
So CPS etc has decided that a screwdriver tho has what we cal la blade does not come under S139
BUY a butter knife that has no point and not what any body would call a cutting edge Does
For a thing to be bladed it must also be handled. In other words a blade on its own is not a bladed item. This would probably be questioned in regards to a knife blade although I suggest that the logic is correct. However, it should apply to an arrowhead without a shaft or indeed a broken folding legal length penknife.
Broadheads can make nice neck knives. I'm not into neckers but have seen some tidy examples made from old two bladers.
Using an antler tine for the handle is the way to go. The taper's part-way there already and it's stronger than wood taken down so thin.

Not if you use them on the battlefield. They take a very dim view of that sort of thing; don't like the repro armour being tested or something
Sorry, didn't read the post properly.
Folk already make what you're thinking of. Stick "broadhead knife" into google images.
They don't look like either good knives or good broadheads though.
With thon neck knives I mentioned it'd be a case of heating the blade if you wanted it back for mounting on an arrow again. The glue would fail and it'd pop right off.
