If you re-sharpen the old blades you may as well just use a fixed blade and sharpen that .

The point is that you can have a second razor sharp blade at hand in the bush ready to go without having to carry a second knife. Just swap them out and sharpen when you get home.

Just learn how to sharpen a knife. Don't get me wrong , I think the concept is awesome and I use something similar for signwriting all day and I admire the idea of you re - using the blades but it's not the purpose of the knife.
Snap off blades , replacement blades , scalpels are probably all able to be re-sharpened but that's not the idea behind the knife.......the whole idea is not to re-sharpen .
Good on you though.
