Knife made from aluminum foil?

I found this article on Facebook and I have to say, it's too good not to share!

It amazes me that he managed to do it all by hand as well. It might not compete with some of the higher end outdoors knives with fancy steels, but it is still absolutely cool!

I do wonder how strong that blade is though.

You can cut a cucumber with a sharpened piece of wood too

My thoughts exactly. Maybe this needs to be a challenge on Forged in Fire?

Or on Giant Swords!

They can try to build a 2m chopper with it

Lets see how it holds up against the coconut chop..... It's not about what your blade can do to the coconut but what the coconut will do to your blade

Love the little ceramic cows, even more than the knife.

You could get the same result from a simple slab of aluminium, from an old window or the like.

I have seen one of his other movies, where he make a knife from pasta, cuts stuff with it, then boils it and eats it with some souce!

cool,
but I'd think everything you can cut with a thin Aluminum blade you can tear, rip, split, crack, open or cut with your teeth or nails, hands, or other objects (striking with stones, piercing and prying with stakes or sticks, bending or stressing until breakage...)

The sceptic in me is questioning this. It appeared to me he swapped out the tin foil for a piece of steel or aluminum about half way through the video. I could be wrong and probably am but that’s what it looked like to me.
