Greeting everyone. I recently started upgrading many of my beginner tools i started out with. Initially i didnt want to spend alot until I figured out how I liked leatherwork, well, i guess you can determine whether I did or not.
Alot of my initial tools were adequate for getting into the craft with no experience, but over time they have proven that I have out grown them either due to noticable deficiencies or the simple desire to upgrade some to higher qualty.
My question is this, what to do with the tools i am replacing? I am not really one to hang on to low quality tools, not to just keep them around for the sake of keeping them around. I dont know anyone that I think would be interested in leatherwork to give them to.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Thanks for the input. I have some really, really bad stuff from the begining, which has already been replaced with other bad, but not so bad stuff. I guess the really bad stuff will be recycled or dropped off at a local thrift shop.
I see your point on hanging on to some of the bad, but not so bad stuff to be repurposed. Great idea on the skiving knife, that is one tool i am currently upgrading, and have been using an old sharpened putty knife for that up till now.
Thanks for the feedback
