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?
