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!

Hhhhhhhhh
What do you do if a milk jug cap isnt clearly marked?
handle made of metal and blade made of plastic! now that's a cool knife😁
Thanks!
😂😂😁😁🤣🤣😁😁😂😂
Bro that's a experiment that plastic will cut or not
@@anupsingh619it can cut if its sharp but wont hold an edge
most valuable tip I got from this was the clamp on the drill and using it to sand with the other end in a wrench lol I love stuff like that.

Beautiful! I discovered your channel 10 mins ago, now I’m binging on all your HDPE videos! Cheers and keep it up my dudes!
Thanks for watching! 👍🏽👍🏽
This would make a really cool scale material for a Damascus knife
This Actually Worked ALOT Better Than I Expected It To!
I think you guys may have just won the award for most ghetto lathe for turning your pins I've ever seen. The only reason I'm a bit annoyed about it is because of how perfectly effective and outside the box creative it was. (and 'cause I didn't think of it first.)
Haha we'll take that!
🤦🏻♂️
@@BrothersMake🤦🏻♂️
Amazing, a inverted knife haha, although not the most practical, it is sure the most gorgeous knife I've seen
When your five year old nephew begs for a Damascus knife for Christmas, and you can't refuse those eyes... but you also need to think of safety!
Very creative
Well thats the first time I've ever seen anything like this before💯👏
You’re welcome 😁😁
Looks great! I’m a maker hobbyist and a pro knife sharpener. I think I’ll try this out
I have to say I am a glutton for micarta. It just marbles together in such a mesmerizing and beautiful way!
Imagine my excitement upon learning that ALL my grocery stores make their bags out of HDPE! That huge stack in the kitchen isn't going to last long with me on the case!
EVERY aspect of the pins/pinning was brilliant.
sweet project, I particularly like the method for pinning the handle scales. looks great!
Thanks man!
Recycle and art, that creative 👁👄👁👍🏼
Amazing video Brothers Make. I love you guys 🙌
Far too kind! Thanks so much 😊
Beautiful knife
I can’t believe it actually cut! :0
Haha just about!
That is one crazy idea, Looks Amazing! 👍 😁
Thanks bud, as always you're far too kind!
Turned out nice again! Looks really good, cheers chaps.
Cheers Richard!

A great video again made by the brothers!
Thanks Jolien!
Oi! I really loved how the subscribe button flashed like that!! I've never seen that before. I love this video mate. Thanks!!!
Genius idea for turning the pins
Thanks!
I’d really like to see this as a switchblade knife, I would like to see if it will work or break when smaller in size. Amazing video!
Love it !!!!
Thank you brother!
Vocês são demais legais!!!! As ideias do canal são muito boas e inspiradoras!!!
Love this one cool project cool video. 👌🏻
Thanks Davey G! 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
Nice art piece.

I just want to say. Thats a pretty steady hand! I like you guys sanding belt!
Thanks! @multitoolsproducteurope
That's damn impressive, and looks great!
Thanks!
Great job! In working on persuading my husband to try your awesome recycling program. He and I are loving what you guys are creating. I cant wait to see what's next! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching!

Not only did i enjoy watching this video, i like the sound selection too
Great use of plastic 👍🏻
Thanks Mark 👌🏼
Veramente bello, bravo bro!
Wooow perfect projekt 🐒👍❤️🔥🔥🔥
Thanks!
Well U definitely have 1 of a kind
Nice work boys. And very inventive.
Thank you Garry
I just found your channel on the "We like to make stuff" FB group... interesting project man... Sub'd
Awesome, thanks for watching!
mesmerizing video !
Thank you!
Great video! I was very surprised how well it cut the tomato and apple 😮
Thanks! So were we! 😂
Wow. It's just beautiful! All I could think of will it be able to cut anything???
Then I remembered hard clamshell packaging.
Quite happily enjoying the video thinking, that looks really nice, maybe not practical but a fun project, good for lettuce maybe, or cake, or opening letters. CASUALLY SLICES A TOMATO! 😲
Awesome as always
Haha! It didn’t do too bad did it?! It struggled on the top of the cake a little bit it’s pretty good for fruit and veg 👍🏼
Little Hobby Shop it would make a cool letter opener in the office 👍🏼
Very enjoyable video. Now I want that sander atachement :D.
They’re very handy!
Very nice! Maybe the boys at cold steel will put you to work, that would be a cool charity collaboration!
Жарайсың, бала!
WOW!!!
I love it I would love to make some sheets of this stuff for sheaths for my demascus blades creativity doesn’t always have to make sense it won’t rust lol
Sounds good!
9:23 it's really cool to watch the pattern change as you cut it down
🥰Amazing 🥰
Thanks!
Metal scales and plastic blade, very interesting.
P.S. I like the stuff you made
Thank you!
Show de bola 👏👏👍
Keren banget motif pisau nya juga indah sekali om
When grinding the bevels try grinding edge first instead of spine first. You should get more control
Thanks for the tip 😊
Bloody beautiful
Thanks!
7:21～Goodです=3
メガネレンチの使い方に秀樹感激Goodです=3
So it will cut, but will it kiiiillllll?
It l a c e r a t e d
Nice
Hahaha, I was thinking why did not he cut a paper? You did it finally.
Attempted it anyway!
It turned put great. That was a great idea for the handle rivets and i think looks better like then if you had done the brass.
Thanks man, yeah we're really happy with how they came out too. Agree they actually look better than the brass would have!
Thunkworks Matt I agree, the plastic rivets were a great idea and looked really cool 😎
Hola esta super me voy a hacer unos yo
A plastic carving knife, who da thunk it! You guys rock!
Thanks Linda! 🤘🏼
Awesome
Thank you!
Обычно как-то наоборот металлический нож с пластиковой ручкой)
They should give these in fast food restaurants
Reminds me of childrens safety scissors ✂️
Duuuude the blade pattern looks like a mountain with trees*
Well now I know what to do with my left over prints
Que bela peça

Noice looking knoife!
I've got to find a corner of my storage shee and break out the sandwich toaster. I have 4 of the 5 gallon (18L?) buckets full-ish of shopping bags and milk jugs, along with 12+/- coffee cans of fizzy drink bottle caps.
Time to do with it all and quit just looking @ it all!
Give it a go it’s great fun!
and cleaning up all the buckets and coffee cans will make the Missus happier!
This can be a perfect kid toy, i made a simple wooden hunting knife for my nephew and he was so happy.
Considering it’s sharp enough to cut fruit I definitely wouldn’t give this to my kids!
@@BrothersMake No i was thinking a blunt version, there already are kids knife toys but they are not nearly well made
Ah I see what you mean! 😊
Your next video could be random people yelling “activate!” At your belt sander. ✌🏻🇺🇸
😂😂
lol great idea! Stick a vise in another vice! ;)
You know it!
one advice :steel sheet inlay (maybe those used for machining) ;)
Great video, could you let me know what you are using to keep the hdpe from sticking to the sandwiches press plates?. Mine keeps sticking, tried wax paper and cooking spray and it still sticks, what ever you use looks to be very stick resistant, thanks
They are called Teflon baking mats 👍🏽
Fantastic! 😂 Well, technically I think it could cut almost anything softer than plastic, so in a kitchen it may have its application 😂
Think about the cutting board though…
You really make some cool stuff out of HDPE. I loved watching your videos. May i know which gloves you're using for handling melted plastic?
Thanks! We use silicone oven mitts as they seem to work the best
super cool knife. my only concern would be how long it would remain sharp (and of course the micro plastics resulting from sharpening)
That is amazing
Can someone explain to me how you end up with so much dark grey/ black from white/pale grey plastic?
The plastic is actually black, it just has a lining on the inside and outside surfaces which is white.
10/10 boutta shank up skyler white thhanks for the tips
you could make it with gaps in the edge so u can put boxcutter blades on it and change them when they get dulled out
Interesting idea!
It will Cut.....but will it kill lol. Nice job guys 👍
Haha! Not going to find out 😅
Another great video. What gloves are you using when handling the hot hdpe?
Also, did the spray the wooden mould with a silicone?
The orange ones are silicone oven mitts. The best we have used so far for dexterity vs heat resistance. And no, we didn’t spray the mould as we have found that mould release can contaminate the HDPE and sometimes cause minor failures. So we use multiple coats of varnish to make the mould super slick and never have a problem with sticking.
@@BrothersMake thanks for the advice, I will try this!
Nicely done!!!! What type of gloves do you use?
It's surprisingly sharp that it can cut a tomato. Though not really is the best cut but it is still sharp enough.
And I was wondering if you can make those kind of knives but with volcanic rocks.
No idea! But it sounds very cool!
Good choice of music.....
Great job and plastic knives are great for prepping salads as lettuce doesn’t go brown if it’s cut with plastic 👍🏻
Thanks Rob!
Those gloves you use to pick up the molten HDPE look good, could you provide a link where you got them from please.
Type in ‘silicone oven mitts’ into amazon and you’ll find them. Best gloves we found for heat resistance vs. dexterity
Cool
Thanks!
@@BrothersMake you're welcome. I think what you're doing is Amazing! I always recycled the lids, then I heard that, that is wish-cycling, so I set them aside for one of those initiative's, but couldn't find a place to give them... (I'm in Australia) I love the swirled colours. I hope the whole world can start doing this. How beautiful everything would be🌌🐎🌊🌺🕊️🪴☀️🪶🐇🎡👩🎤
