Vintage Story lacks most kinds of salvaging. You can recoup the costs of lamellae and a few other things, but that's it.
This mod adds recipes for scrapping tools, tool heads, arrows etc, and overhauls the vanilla scrapping recipes to also require a hammer on top of the chisel. Open up the handbook (bits) to check out the recipes. Scroll down for some examples. This mod also makes steel bits smeltable in the bloomery, or they'd be useless.
I send warm hugs to ZyRail (base mod "Break Down Tools") and ArbyTheSeadragon (contributions to base mod).
