ECO SLICE: New patent pending mower blade design concept

Here's a link to my blog post about it. It is adaptable to almost any existing rotary mower blade design I'm aware of.

I guess you posted this to see what we thought and if we would use it.

First thing I see is the point on the outer edge only lasting a few grass cuts. Then what replace the blade?

I would like to see a few passes made with it next to a straight blade.

My feelings are it is more of a novelty then a usable blade.

I hope you can prove me wrong.

The thing about mower blades is its only the first 1/8,1/4" that cuts the grass the rest processes it. This is just another sales gimmick make it look like a scythe but will not cut like one.

The other thing is the wing on it is tiny and may not produce as much lift which will affect the quality of the cut by not lifting the heavier bent down grass. And affect mulching by not being able to hold the grass up while it gets processed
