Does it have sharp blades similar to a lawnmower? It looks like the cutting edges are flat, like flat edge to flat edge.

The blades are not sharp like knife blades, but are sharp enough to cut. One blade has multiple points like a sunburst that spins and is flat. The other blade is sort of triangular and is stationary. The edger cuts the grass with a by-pass action.

I assum you are referring to cutting those sheets of grass not removing an existing lawn. it saws through ok but is slow and hard to keep a clean straight edge. I use a Golok (a type of machete). it chops through much faster and makes a cleaner edge.

If I remember correctly I believe it came with a brush cutting blade, how ever I'm not sure this thing really has the power to be very affective in large brush. It's been great grass trimmer and edging, that's what my gardener uses it for, but I'd get something with more power for brush cutting or dual purpose. Maybe even look into Stihl products for that. But it's been a great unit so far.

When we bought this model, we had looked at a lot of power mowers. I really don't think that this one has a side bagger. My husband really likes the mulching feature. It grinds grass and leaves very fine and does not leave a "mound trail".

yes. They come somewhat "blunt". You could cut grass with them I'm sure - just the speed of the blade would cut, but not very good. To get a good "knife like" edge on it you need to sharpen it.

the only "sharp" portion is the last three inches on the leading edge of both ends and it is not supposed to be "razor sharp" it is ground to a point. . . just make sure you install it with the rolled flanges along the sides towards the motor, that puts the cutting edge to the bottom. . .

No it is not sharp at all. You stick it in the dirt and it vibrates lose dirt only.

The set of blades I received were the best blades I've ever used. Bolted right on my mower deck and turned the grass clippings almost to dust. The cutting edge (without the grooves) was certainly not round, and is formed where the flat bottom plane of the blade meets a beveled top plane. It's not sharp like a scissors, of course....more like the end of a dull, worn out screwdriver. I have no idea what other people are complaining about. These blades mulch so good I have to wear a dust mask when mowing.

It's not sharp at all. In fact the entire "edge" of the sword is flat. So don't expect to cut anything with it.

blade does not FEEL sharp although I don't know how sharp it should be. I was disappointed with the results of the first cut - it hardly cut anything and needs cut again after 2 days. At first I thought the blade's height was not close enough to the grass even though I tried all settings. Now I am thinking the problem is with the sharpness. I will take it to a professional and get an opinion.

The blades themselves are straight. The cutting end has curved outer blades to give it a nose shape presumeably so it get into tight spaces but the blades themselves are straight. Hope that helps

No its very similar to a flat grind. This knife is awesome. One of the smoothest knives I own.

The "blade" is already blunt in that instead of coming to a sharp edge, it has a radius (curve) on it. I suppose if you wanted to flatten it by grinding, you could. However, I'd be careful in not going too much or too fast. You could take too much off, or overheat it, making weaker!

there is a special tool sharpening attachment that will specifically handle lawnmower blades. Work Sharp WSSAKO81111 Tool Grinder Attachment

Hmm..., mine cuts pretty low and gives a clean cut. Sounds like urs is on a higher setting. Did u look at how to lower the blade in the manual? My lawn looks like a golf course.

Yes It Does. It is a powerful and sturdy mower and I have learned to like it despite my original negative comments regarding its design. I did not believe or feel that the lever arrangement to raise and lower the cutting blade was sound, stopped the blade when raised, and that it would perform well over the long run. I still feel it could have been engineered better, but otherwise this is a really solid machine and it performs its task very well. Now glad that I bought it.

it's two blades with 4 edges, one is stationary, the other one moves back and forth. both sides do cut really well, I've even cut some thicker branches without any problems. just be careful with the electric cord, blades will go right through it (hasn't happened to me, but other reviewers had a problem with this)I like to tie a knot before plugging in the extension cord, that keeps it from coming undone
