Random Thoughts.....

Cutting grass with fresh blades is so awesome. Why dont I change blades more often?

Because it costs money?

Not really, you just have to make the effort to sharpen then.

Maybe. A set is $40 so I guess that figures in somewhere subliminally. For me, its more that I get used to the slow decline in cut quality until I finally get fed up and change them. Then I am back to where I was yesterday and am kicking myself for nit changing them a month ago

I have the Vevor copy of this blade sharpener and I can do a set in just a few minutes

I usually just hit them with the 4” angle grinder like a proper redneck

This one gives you a proper 30 degree angle and keeps the end square which is important. But I get that too, use what you got. I am sharpening 3-8 sets at a time so the jig is nice and the wheel cuts great.

The square end has got to be what makes the difference some how. I can sharpen a set pretty decent with the grinder but with all the sand we have, the ends are always rounded off. Freshly sharpened blades are obviously better than not, but they still arent as nice as brand new ones.
