What happens here

When sharpening, the goal is not to create a razor-sharp edge but rather a durable edge. Focus on sharpening only the front face of the blade's cutting edge, maintaining the original angle provided by the manufacturer. Avoid sharpening the back side of the blade, as this can alter the blade's geometry and reduce its durability and effectiveness. The objective is to achieve an edge that can withstand the rigors of cutting grass without immediately dulling or chipping.

Goal: Sharpen the blade to a durable edge for optimal performance.

everything else. So, make sure that your blade is balanced when you're done sharpening simply by pounding a nail in the wall. And always remember, you don't want a sharp edge, you want a durable edge. So, with that being said, just hit the front with the angle that's already on there from the manufacturer. You don't have to go ahead and hit the back. I got Grass Sumo. I'll catch you guys on the next one. Peace.
