Hi dee1. You pose a good question. I have an old bread knife which is useless for cutting bread but I've been storing it in the kitchen drawer for almost 30 years now because I know it would be wrong to just throw it in the bin and I don't want to just GIVE it to some random stranger either.

I saw a UK TV program recently. A young guy had started his own business melting down knives to make key pendants. I wasn't impressed with the design of key he used (it was too big & ugly). Guess where he got the knives from? The British Police Force - yep, they were old confiscated knives and he was taking hundreds of them from the police. We need to find some business like that in Ireland. But I would want proof before I hand any knives over. The Guards are trying to take them out of criminal circulation.
