[TheForge] lawnmower blades

[Jerry Smith]

Bob,

I am not sure these days what they are made out of. My
brother had a 1960 Sears Mower, that the blade last up
until the mid 1980s before he had files it alway when
sharpening it.

Today I igure they are some kind of mild tool steel
wit the cutting edge sharpened. I use them to made
things for fun around the forge.
