Some of the new blades are dull right out the box.

[@texasyardmanandmore3822]

That's true. Might have to file a little of the paint off to give it an edge.

A new blade is like 20 bucks

[@texasyardmanandmore3822]

True. You could also go that route or save yourself some money and just sharpen the blade.

Or you could just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and buy a new blade.

Hi Tommy. Yes, you could. Easy to sharpen though. Eventually, you would want to replace the blade if damaged horribly. I made it eleven years and no issues. Cut fine. I just decided to sharpen my blade. OEM blades can be expensive at big box stores. My riding lawn mower 42inch deck is 60 dollars for a set. $$$$$

Not bad. A fair price for 2 blades. Many pro lawn companies just sharpen the blades themselves. Unless damaged. Get the most for your dollar that way. TYMM :)

[@dougmacrae9535]

Just go buy a new blade.

You certainly can do that if you like. TYMM
