When we moved into our apartment 5 years ago, my DF's parents gave us a bunch of kitchen stuff. Now we're moving out, and I have this gargantuan knife they gave us, that I want to get rid of. It appears to be a carving knife... the blade is about 10" long, about 1" wide at the base and tapered to the tip. We have never used it and never will.
How does one dispose of such a knife? None of my friends are interested (we recently gave away a microwave, a blender, and a set of dishes, but nobody wanted the knife!). Is it bad to throw it in the trash? Do you think the Salvation Army would accept it? I have visions of the police knocking on my door, holding the knife which someone found in my trash, and informing me that I'm a suspect in some crime! And, more realistically, I don't want any of our garbage pick-up guys to get hurt by it... I've seen the way they swing the garbage bags into the truck.
