What To Do With Them ?

[tamaris]

I have been cleaning out my cupboards and found half a dozen sharp knives I never use. Two charity shops wont take them. Any ideas ?

[ummmm]

Friends, Family, Tip...

[Cloverjo]

Any family or friends who could use them? Or how about your local village hall?

Ask the police. Some police forces have a more or less permanent knife amnesty.

My local police advised me to wrap them well in cardboard and throw in the dustbin

Wow

[viv41]

Wonder why charity shops won't take them ......

[gness]

I think they can be classed as weapons, Viv....and charity shops can't accept weapons.......x

[viv41]

Oh I see, thanks gness.

On a light note: give them to a local farmer and he can "Beat them into ploughshares.":)

Of our three charity shops two have knitting needle on display and one a notice saying....We have knitting needles but can't display them for safety reasons.......please ask...

So if you look like a knitter you'll get them I suppose......I'm longing for the day a burly hoodie takes up knitting and asks to see the needles....☺

...take up knife-throwing with a willing friend.

^ Ha ha ....

And as for the knitting needles: "And form their spears into pruning hooks."

Don't be upsetting your friends now, Tamaris.....I nominate Ginge......☺

[gingejbee]

^^^in that case, forget the idea!!

[gness]

Wuss!!!.....☺

Charities that cook and supply hot meals may be able to use them. I'm sure all our knives are donations.

[pastafreak]

Ps...but call and ask first.

Any Lunch Clubs in your area? I'm sure they would welcome them!

When I worked at Barnado's all donations were welcome but knives and such had to be sent to HQ to be verified etc... but were saleable Items.
