I'd like to keep my mulching mower blade sharp over the mowing season,
though as I understand it, the extra ridges make it more difficult to

Just get yourself a bench grinder or a friend with a bench grinder. 3/4hp or more works just great.

I found one on Craig's list for $20, but it's only 1/3hp. Is that
likely to be a hunk o' junk?

For about $45 you can get a hand held grinder, which is what I use and it also comes in handy for other uses.

Is that the same as an angle grinder, like the one shown he

Yes indeed, my mower is electric, which I absolutely love for my small
suburban lawn. No dealing with gas, oil or tuneups!
