Mower blade sharpening

A sharp blade is the cheapest lawn care there is.

A dull blade rips grass instead of slicing it. The torn tips brown, and the lawn looks stressed.

Each blade has its nicks ground out, its bevel restored and its balance checked so it runs smooth.

Sandy coastal soil hides sticks, shells and roots that chew up a blade faster than you would think.

A balanced, sharp blade also eases the strain on the engine and makes every mow go quicker.

How it is done

Every blade, coarse to polished.

The same careful steps on a paring knife or a mower blade. Coarse to fine, every time.

Look it over

Every blade is checked first for chips, broken tips, rolled edges and its factory angle.

Set the angle

The bevel is corrected only where it needs it, so the blade keeps its shape.

Sharpen

A controlled grind brings back a clean, even edge without overheating the steel.

Polish

The edge is refined and polished so it cuts smoothly and holds up longer.

Test and return

Each edge is checked by hand before it goes back. Not happy? The job is free.

  • Fishing knives, done while he waited

    Called Eric and he told me to come on over. Sharpened my six fishing knives while I waited. Took maybe 15 minutes max. To say they are razor sharp would be an understatement. Plus…he is a very nice and personable guy. Highly recommend.

  • Kitchen and serrated knives

    Great service and incredibly fast! Even sharpened my serrated knife for me. Couldn't have asked for a higher quality job on my kitchen knives. The whole process was simple, easy, and I'll be going back when I need them done again.

Do I need to remove the blade first?

Yes, please bring the blade off the mower. That keeps the turnaround quick and the price reasonable.

How often should a mower blade be sharpened?

Most Gulf Coast lawns need it at least once a season, more if you hit sticks, shells or roots often.
