Sawing it up is a good idea, but how? I mean, with what tool? I have a hacksaw, but it's been used for regular hacksaw jobs and probably isn't food safe now.
Oh, pishtosh! You're gonna cook that bone forever -- so clean up the blade before and after.
Pishtosh? Pishtosh!? Ahem...I ran the saw blade through the dishwasher and hacked the bone. One chunk went into D's blackeyes; two others went into the freezer.
It wasn't germs I was worried about, but metals, by the way. Cooking kills germs, but metals don't care how hot the broth is.

You'd have to cut pretty fast to get any metals stuck to the hacksaw blade in anyway other than say grease or wax lubricant. If it really bothers you cut thru several pieces of wood to clean the blade of metal filings. Then remove the wooden sawdust. Cut up several 2 by 4s then wash with water.

Hacksaw blades cost about a $1 each. duh
Hard to find on New Year's Day in Cow Hill, though. And we're making black eyed peas today.
Hmm, no hardware stores in Cowflop Hill... even Dollar stores/5¢ & 10¢ stores sell hacksaw blades... even stupidmarkets sell hacksaw blades. And there is nothing preventing you from washing your old hacksaw blade... you do have soap and water on that itty-bitty hillybilly Cowflop Hill...
We got Commerce Hardware, Feed, and Farm Supply, but it's closed for the holiday. We got Bewley's Five and Dime. Bbut not only is it closed, it also gives me a severe case of the willies every time I go in. You'd have to see it to know what I mean.
We got no hillbillies, though. No hills.
And yup, I did wash the old blade and hacked the bone. Part of it is now in the peas.
