Default what to do with old lawn mower blades?

Gardening for guys

Is time to go get new lawn mower blade. It isn't just that this one
is flat on the leading edge, but it is also bent. My local expert
says "replace it, cheaper than stitches, when it breaks loose". Okay,
Super Saturday sale today ... But it leaves me with a "nice" blade.
My Scot's blood has me wondering if a handle could be made and
attached to make it into a chopper/heavy duty 'machete'? Or something
for the zombie apocalypse, maybe?
Or would it be better if I had a blacksmith type forge to work it
a bit?

Regardless, time for me to be gone.
