It's a good start.
I like doing the same thing. If I can do a restore w/o removing the original pins, I'll do so. I remove the pins & blade only if it is necessary.

None of your blades look that bad to me (of course, your pix show only one side)...your definition of "dire" is clearly quite different from mine!
But seriously, I'd give 'em all a shot! Have fun!
