I think found the final solution to mower blades that stay sharp longer pretty much for the life of the blade.
Laser-edge dot com.
They perfected what I was trying to make.
This company applies a paper thin very hard coating to underside of the mower blades and they make them for all different makes and models.
I needed star pattern 21 inch mower blades for craftsman, they didn't have any. But they had blades for professional grade Husqvarna 60 inch mower that uses 3x21 inch blades to make 60 inches. Husqvarna and craftsman use the same 5 point star pattern so I ordered some. $30 each plus $15 shipping.
Shipping was per order if I knew that these worked as well as they say they do I would have gotten 3 or 4. But I will start with 2 for now.
If they stay kind of sharpish they will 100% be worth it.
The company says for best results use in areas with gritty Sandy soil, which describes NM perfectly.

When I sharpen the standard tool steel blades I can run the mower full speed through knee high field grass, but after 20 minutes of mowing I have to start slowing way down or I miss more than I mow.
