💚 A huge thank you to The Brotherhood: / brothersmake

In this video we turn recycled plastic HDPE bottles into a set of knife scales for this beautiful chef’s knife that was sent to us by Bespoke Bloke Designs. We made a custom knife scale plywood mould for this and then ripped the blank in half to give us a matching pair.
From looking around on KZhead and Instagram, we can’t find anyone else that has used HDPE as scales on a chef’s knife in this way. Plenty of hidden tang versions but none as a full tang chef’s knife. If you have made one or seen one made then be sure to share it with us!
We chose to use Corby fasteners to attach the scales to the tang of the knife. This is because HDPE doesn’t work very well with glue. We did add black-tinted epoxy as well but this was mainly to act as a gap filler. The Corby fasteners are doing the majority of the holding work. We added some cut-lines and roughed ip the steel to give the epoxy a slightly better chance of holding.
This was a really fun build and we absolutely LOVE the end result. Definitely going to be making more of these in the future. What do you think of our colour selection? What colours would you chose?
Thanks for watching!

For anyone else puzzled about this comment, at around 0:31 they draw around the knife tang using a washer to provide a uniformly oversized template for moulding the plastic.

  • Three things: 1) Awesome job! Those scales look great (as does the entire knife)! 2) Do we really know what kinds of glue will work with the HDPE sufficiently to adhere to a tang? Has anyone glued some up without pins and tried to rip them off to see what the adhesion was like. 3) I just looked out in my garage...every single motor oil and ATF bottle was #2 HDPE. If you want a ready source of HDPE< hit your buddies up for their old oil bottles. My Mobil1 comes in a nice shiny gray/silver color (to mix with black), some STP oil of my son's was a sort of sparkly red, I think the colors would be endless. You'd just have to clean them well but heck...drain good, strip them up. into a tub of hot water and soap, I think you could do it fine. Thoughts?

    • 1) thanks! 2) yeah, we’ve done a decent amount of testing and it’s just so non-porous that the glue has a hard time. Apparently there are specialist glues that could possibly work but we haven’t found the need to investigate that 3) we have actually used oil and antifreeze bottles already, they’re a great source of HDPE!
