There are a lot of makers of custom folders. One of them might be able and willing to make and install replacement blades. I doubt it would be cheap.
Personally, I would pass them along as they are.
At 84 years old my dad is still with us. He had a stockman's knife that I admired since I was a small child. We were talking about knives one day and I mentioned that knife and he gave it to me.
It's not like I remembered LOL. The blades are worn down to almost nothing. He must have spent more time sharpening it than using it. I have plenty of knives but this one is a keepsake.

I have made blades for such knives but it is time consuming and costly if you dont do it yourself. Also depends how the knife is constructed and if it can be opened up and new blades inserted without too much more damage being done

Is that a service that they provide under a warranty of some kind, or is it a paid repair service? That’s a bummer if they can’t help a paying customer with parts.
If there is some kind of a warranty deal, I can see how they might’ve had Enough a long time ago when it comes to people busting up perfectly good knives and then sending them in under warranty as if they were defective.
Saw an incredible amount of abuse like that at REI. That’s why they stopped taking returns the way that they used to. They just couldn’t afford it anymore.

sometimes a company no longer has the parts to do a repair or refurbish
I needed a part from Remington for a very old .22
they were nice asked about sereil # and model
when I gave it to them I would hear him suck in his breath
- gee we haven't made that gun for over a hundered years- and don't have any parts for it sorry

I'm learning that in life there is "Sentimental Value" and "Sentimental Deficit" and to me?...those knives fall into the latter category.
If they were mine and it were me?...I've save my son the guilt and/or hoarding option of spending eternity in his "everything I'll never use" drawer.
Take heart in knowing you did all you could do to resurrect them as you head straight to the round file and make a deposit.

Personally I would leave as is , the way dad left them.Buy a new one if you plan on hard use.Remember your kid or grand kid has half the chance of hurting them self with 2 blade knife with only one blade.Besides this was grandpa's knife.

Nothing ever last for ever. Keep them , and buy new ones.They also will need replacing one day as well. I too have an old knife I saved from the trash some 40+ years ago. It became my first "real" knife, but was eventually relegated to kitchen duty and replaced with a new one.

My buddy broke the tip off his Buck 110, he probably owned that knife for 30+ years... sent it back to Buck to see if they would repair it for a reasonable fee, they replaced the blade for free and cleaned/polished the whole thing such that it almost looked new. I personally did send a knife back to Case once, and they did take care of it (it was a fixed-blade clip point hunter, the leather washers were kind of messed up from getting bloody when processing an antelope). To be fair to Case though, it's likely impossible to keep spare parts for the bazillions of pocket knives they have made over the decades.... besides, if a user is breaking blades (three blades?), my guess is, that knife is being used for something other than cutting.... I love old-style pocket knives, but the reality is, most people would be better served with a Leatherman multi-tool or something like that.

Most gun smith's can fabricate a replacement for an obsolete part...at least that was true back when I was into guns.

"I love old-style pocket knives, but the reality is, most people would be better served with a Leatherman multi-tool or something like that."
Could not agree more. I made the switch about twenty years ago. I use the pliers and screw drivers as much if not more than the blades. Never understood why some models have scissors. If I have a knife blade, I don't need scissors.
