they can be re-welded and used again if they are sharp & not kinked. Some guy on you tube cuts them a couple of inches long, puts handles on them so they look like a 2 man saw and sets them in a small branch for woodland scenes.

Laine, If it is still sharp, you can taper and overlap the ends, and silver solder them, and should be good to go. I repair mine twice, then they are generally too dull to worry about. The lumbermen sounds like a good idea.
