Replacement mower blades by Oregon. These blades are made to better than OEM specification. The additional feature on these blades is the sharpened area. Most blades stop about a 1/3 of the way on the blade, but this style provides up to double the standard sharpened surface. This not only provides cutting efficiency, but has a mulching effect as well. Each blade is thru-hardened to a Rockwell C-scale hardness of 50 for optimum safety and durability, then individually straightened for a precision cut. All Oregon mower blades are made in the U.S.A.
