We had a stick welder and some black colored rods (I think nickel) that would work for that. I have a ice chisel (used for other stuff too) that I welded onto the edge. Its been working for 20 years! I think on a mower blade it wouldn't last that long, but it was easy and no forging and heat treating.

Let us know how it works out.
