Aluminium hilted jambiya

It would be really good if we knew more about early export of aluminium. I know by 1890s aluminium pots and pans were being made. I found something about the American Aluminiun Comapany {google}. Production would also be in other industrial countries. Were pots and pans cheap enough to be imported and traded to tribal economies? melted down and cast? Aluminium handles could be quite early {19th century} Some chap equiped a whole unit/brigade/regiment with aluminium handle kukries for ww1.
