Beautiful. Who had the time and patience to do the rehab of that mower?
It looks like the blade is made from damascus steel/ (2 different kinds of metal that are layered together, forged, folded back over on it self, reforge, do this 3-8 more times), then drawn out and formed into a knife blade or law mower blade then sharpened. It will hold and edge for a long time. Ernie makes his own damascus steel and uses them for his folding pocket knives he makes.

That's really sharp, Glenn!
The best thing I like about it, is that it never gets used....lolol...!!!!...wish I had one..

WOW! I'm with Dale on this one. Apparently the only way I'll get to stop using mine is to restore it.
