In this video I'll be making an aluminum bronze knife to use around my shop. I made this knife from copper wire and pure aluminum. 90% copper mixed with 10% aluminum makes a very hard alloy called aluminum bronze. I made the knife by creating a sand casting and then cutting the shape of the knife out of it. I then cast pure copper pins and used them to attach walnut handle scales.
