So over the last few weeks and months I've received this question almost as much as any other topic, and that is, should you pre-sharpen your lawn mower blades. I know it's a simple topic, but I wanted to spend a few minutes and give you my answer in the most nontechnical way possible, ha! Now I will say this, I am not a lawn mower blade manufacturer and no, I cannot provide a technical answer from that vantage point. But I will sat this, that after buying hundreds of lawn mower blades throughout the years, I believe that unsharpened blades right out of the box seem to cut just as well as a regular razor-sharp-edge lawn mower blade that was recently freshly sharpened.
I know everyone wants your lawn mower blades razor sharp, but the reality is, they don't really have to be. Take a look at the laser-edge lawn mower blades for example. The cutting edge it's self is quite honestly, a rather dull and not razor sharp edge. But those blades still slice and dice like crazy. I feel the same is true for a lawn mower blade right out of the box. They don't need to be "razor sharp" to leave a good cut quality. I feel more important than that is the correct angle and an above average sharp edge, basically, not a blunt dull edge.
The bottom line is, the protective paint and coating wears off extremely quick, and before you know it, the actual metal is exposed. I've always personally felt that fresh blades right out of the box always seem to cut the best, but that's my experience and opinion. After that initial day or two worth of use, we then go ahead and sharpen the blade.
Love to hear your guys thoughts on the topic! Do you guys presharpen your blades, or prefer them right out of the box with the protective coating and paint? Leave us a comment down below and weigh in!
