Howdy,
Just invested in a new set of knives, how do you dispose of the old set?

You could check if your local recycling centre takes them.

In my family "safely disposing" of old knives/kitchenware/household goods (obviously just stuff that isn't completely wrecked though) is done by gifting it to other people in the family who might have just moved out for college/into a new house etc. who mightn't already have stuff. When I was a student I got most of my kitchen stuff that way

Keep them, you can never have enough knives

Howdy,
Going to keep the two larger knives but the handles are falling off the rest so don't think they will be of any use to anyone unfortunately Just want to make sure they disposed of safely

If the handles have fallen off I expect you can just put the metal in the green bin. They take glass in my green bin so I expect they are used to having sharp objects in them, if that was your worry.

I am not really sure. I know when we changed our knives we gave them to a builder friend. He used to put them in the foundation of walls etc and pour cement on them.

Were they murder weapons?
