Remove the wire from the spark plug first.

Hold the blade, then turn the bolt. If you can't hold the blade with a
gloved hand, block it from turning with a scrap piece of wood.

Yes, for God's sake disconnect that spark plug!

Somehow I was also wondering if that nut might be left-handed. I have a
Murray gas mower that I was going to pull the blade from and
sharpen/balance
the blade.

No, not likely. Lawnmowers blades are all made to "tighten" the bolt if
they slip any. Otherwise, the motor torque could possibly spin the
retaining bolt loose.
