LAWNMOWER BLAD TO BUSH BLADE

We take a lawnmower blade and forge it into a big Bush blade and test to see how good a knife it can make

I’m one of those guys who likes cutting his lawn and I keep my mower blades sharp as a kitchen knife this achieves two things , it makes a clean cut on your grass promoting growth and makes your motor work less hard prolonging the life of your mower

[@Billy-burner]

Having mower Blades sharp like a kitchen knife isn't necessary since it'll just go blunt instantly, and it's just down right dangerous. The most crucial part for a mower blade is to have a sharp 90 degree edge since that does all the cutting.

At 8:30, that Chicken was wondering/wandering if your Knife can cut through her body... nice video, I like your idea by testing first the steel in two queching method, water and oil, then see which is better

[@sidehillforging]

Yeah! Slaying it!

[@gregmundo6107]

Very good

[@cslloyd1]

I just sharpened a lawnmower blade using a flap disc and I was amazed at the shower of sparks it threw. My understanding is the more sparks the better, but maybe they need to have a certain pattern? Maybe somebody can tell me what to look for in a spark test.

[@jessekelley9384]

Spark test from a belt sander or bench grinder.... You are looking for sparks that look like little fireworks. You will know it when you see it. Blade steel isnt real expensive if you know where to look. I get 1084 from Jantz supply. Its a known quantity I can find information on for optimal heat treating and tempering processes. Mower blades should be something close to 1075 ( tough, holds edge ok not great, wear resist isnt optimal, but its quite usable if you dont mind sharpening)

@@jessekelley9384 good to know for me as well! Thank you, sir!

I hear the egg song in the background.

That chicken was like… "Thank goodness! He switched to eating wood. CHOP IT’S HEAD OFF BOSS!"

[@timjohle8876]

Did you end up quenching in oil or water.

[@strategicoutdoors9509]

Yes sr I did quench it in water i got better results

[@timjohle8876]

@@strategicoutdoors9509 That’s what I did way back when.

[@oldghosty1609]

Dang that's a pretty blade are you selling it

[@strategicoutdoors9509]

Thank it did turn out pretty good but this one is not for sale

[@gravityforcesports6798]

Can I buy that knife from you?

[@oldghosty1609]

By the way this is Michael at the farm supply

[@bbur75]

Some calls it a kizer blade, some calls it a lawn mower blade.....mmmmmm ....hhhhhhmmm. Some calls its a sling blade.

[@bbur75]

Holy shit, I mean you re chopping wood with it, and ice and still a strap. Wtf!!!🤷‍♂️ how is it not good enough steel? People who say that, are dont want people making their own knives.

[@MichaelSmith-nd4rr]

Total waste of time, case hardened crap, get some real stock

[@flst0347]

Depends where the mower blade came from. John Deere uses 5150 blades on a lot of their commercial mowers. Iv made several using these and made excellent tough choppers. Seems like the only waste of time is your comment.

[@bobski7032]
