I had a Sears mower and the blades were so soft I could bend them with
my hands. I bent one and put it on my knee and bent it back. So much for
Sears.

Thanks for the heads up, turns out the blades that it came with were thin
and goofy looking.
I went to Sears and bought a new set, same model number totally different
blade!

The new blades are thicker, and have a "crease" on both sides 3/4 of the
length of the blade, looks like they were added to make the blade more
rigid.
so far I like them

You shouldn't have had to 'buy' new blades, Sears should have replaced
them with the newer blades, since this is a defect in materials.
I wonder how many others have had the same problem with those flimsy
blades?
