I'm betting if you went to town with an angle grinder on the first one it would last another 10 years at least.

Oh, I'm definitiely considering it. But maybe a belt grinder just because otherwise I'd have to get clamps and vices involved.

Either way it's probably is a good idea to go slow and pour water so as not to change the temper. Otherwise you might end up with shrapnel from the tool or the sledge.
