Decluttering

I hand sharpen, but there comes a point I can't be bothered as the teeth get shorter and there's more fiddling, hang it up and look at it thinking why don't I just chuck it, but ya know, can't.

The diminishing returns curve.
This applies to my metal recycle pile as well.
And other clutter.
 
Speaking of metal recycling, I have quite a bit in several piles around my back yard. I really need to either load it up and take it in, or else find somebody to come pick it up. And soon.
 
I gave all my old to a blacksmithing guy. He made some cool knives out of it.
 
If you keep Steel from rusting makes nice additive when pouring concrete ... once saved a full fish tote of bars , chains , and files. Was worth five bucks , IF taken to Springfield Mass.
 
Right now, scrap prices are back up again. Just before the Covidiocy (over-reaction), steel/light iron was down to a 0.01 and aluminum cans/foil had dipped to 0.20/lb. Now getting 0.08/lb for light iron and 0.60/lb for aluminum (peaked about 3 months ago to .075/lb). Filled my pickup w/both 2X recently and got almost $220.
