They could use their shop dept. to sharpen them. 2. A church 3. A woman's shelter RE: Uses for Old Knives Post by FFL (71) | (06/01/2007) Profile | Contact I have used old knives for: 1.

Scraping crud off of grill RE: Uses for Old Knives Post by cookwie (641) | (06/01/2007) Profile | Contact I'd wrap the blades in masking tape on the cutting edges, then put into cardboard that has been folded in half and tape closed - whether intended for the dump or donation. Mark in large indelible black ink on the outside "sharp knife". You don't want anyone visiting the dump to get cut. I say this because where I live has a dump the size of a huge swimming pool and I have seen people going through it when we've dropped off trash.

That may be too dangerouse if you have kids who might pull them up & get hurt...
