Would a thick, pure tin (or even aluminum) knife be just as useful as a stabbing/slicing hunting knife?
Thick but of course, thin at the edges for slicing. Assuming you melted tin out of tin cans and made it into a knife and the handle is made of wood. One version's handle is simply made of thick rolled up cloth.
I saw in wikipedia that tin can be used as a ceremonial dirk. And that dirk was forged ages ago. how much more now?
No it wouldn't. The edge would not hold up on either tin or aluminum.A knife that doesn't keep an edge is worthless unless you are in the state prison.
