This seems like a silly question... but here goes...
I've just purchased new blades for my Craftsman 42" mower. The blades
are not at all what I'd call "sharp" - which surprised me. Should new
mower blades be sharpened before they are used? or is this angled edge
(but again, not "sharp") proper for a mower?
If it makes a difference, these are mulching blades.


I was told to never sharpen blades on a lawnmower because it can unbalance
it, which would cause other problems. The blades always seem blunt to me
when I get a new set, but new ones always cut really well, much better than
old blunt ones.

Just give them a go. See how they go.
