I don't think there's any (practical) way to resharpen them. I think that in their manufacture, the tip of the wire is sharpened before it is cut off. I suppose if you had pounds of them, a metal salvage yard might buy them. It is a pretty good quality steel. But by and large, I guess the used needles are just garbage.
