To test if aluminum blades can be sharpened and if they can cut. So I made a large cast aluminum Bowie knife.
To make the mold I used mansbond oil sand from www.artisanfoundry.co.uk
My CNC was provided by my supporter STONEYCNC

Seriously, he knows that aluminium isnt the best for a knife. Its probably not the best for most of the weapon castings he does. I think he's fully aware. Just sit back and relax and watch this fella hone his casting skills.

Low key, since it doesn't rust it could actually use as a table decent survival knife, like not like a perfect one. But a nice that you don't have to maintain as a plus he'll be pretty easy to sharpen since it's a soft metal.

First time watching your channel. I'm on my 6th video. It's really cool watching as you progress over time. I feel like I'm learning from your "mistakes" (I don't mean anything bad by that, I'm sure you understand), just from watching you change your methods slightly from video to video. The war club was pretty freaking awesome. Keep up the great work man. Love to find more quality craftsmanship. Both your work with molding and also your video work are top notch. Wish all the best for you. Def earned my sub.

Though there is one thing I find peculiar is that you used only your hands to push in the sand, while I was taught to use some tools, so the sand is more tightly packed together. I wonder if this depends on the properties of this peculiar sand? Id does seem more clay-like that what we used. (English is not my native language, so it's hard to find words when it comes to technical stuff. I hope it's still understandable.)

Nice investment turned out well. There is a family in montana Ruana, who make hunting knives with cast aluminium handles with deer antler inlay on the handles just like you did with the wood. Buy your blades and cast the handles with exotic scales. Good light movie prop.
