Making a Recycled Plastic Damascus Knife - Will it Cut?!

We took a handful of recycled HDPE bottles and turned them into this crazy looking knife. The black and white marbled together to give the blade this damascus type pattern, which looks awesome. We gave this aluminium scales and came up with a way to make our own HDPE dowels, which we used for the knife pins. What do you think?!

This knife shape was inspired by ‘santoku’ knives and the blade has a deep bevel on both sides. As you can probably imagine, plastic does not sharpen particularly well and it was hard to get this to retain any sort of cutting edge. It did a pretty good job at cutting through the fruit! Certainly no match for real damascus!

If you want to be in with a chance of owning this exact knife, we are going to be raffling it off to raise money for the Innocence Project as part of a Global Charity Raffle that we are organising. Look out for the video that will be posted tomorrow with all the details on how you can enter!
