Uses for Old Knives

1. I would check with the local highschool and see if maybe the Home-Ec dept. could use them. They could use their shop dept. to sharpen them.

2. A church

3. A woman's shelter

I have used old knives for:
1. Taken steak knives to work for others to use
2. Letter/package openers
3. Scraping crud off of grill

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.

have you thought about using them in a garden as markers ? Paint the handles then the name of the plant !
That may be too dangerouse if you have kids who might pull them up & get hurt...
