you should be able to get them where you get concrete supplies

Here is your chance to make that million. Become the UK/European distributer for duplex nails.  ;D

go to a job site, a bridge or house tract, they are used for forms so they are easyer to pull, their are alternatives to use for field points. you can make them like a trade point or do some brazing and filing on a standard nail, Bub

Dazv,

Though the duplex nail is a great idea, it just isn't used in the UK like it is in the US. They do make good little points for bamboo arrows and I guess could also be put into drilled hazel etc. A friend of mine did something similar in dogwood I think and it worked well.

The only places I know that sell them are electric fence supplies but they sell in bulk.

I'll sell or trade you a dozen if you like. I had an email recently on this subject. Don't know if it was you. My email is markdesignhill@aol.com

Mullet,

That is very kind of you. Let me know the cost including postage and maybe I can do you a trade back in damascus steel if and when I finally get them.

No problem, shipping shouldn't be that much, the boxes are small.

Eddie,
Many thanks. They arrived today. They're bigger than any I have been able to get hold of here. How can I repay your kindness?

Dazv,
Give me your address and I'll send you some.
