Hollow grind versus chisle grind test. Gentlemen start your engines.

How about chisel vs ground on both sides! I want to see that next.

I saw this thread and got inspired to mod my lawnmower, I now have an all G10 motor with a 5160 blade that is chisel ground with a swedge... stainless tubes for handles. Tactical.

Post one in the for sale forum and see how long it last.

Exactly. I could see a 5160 or S7 blade just mowing like crazy! People would buy so many that the big lawnmower companies would pay me hush money...

Now I want to build a hover mower with L6 bainite blades. And, I don't know, Timascus hardware.

You guys think you're just kidding around but I'm pretty sure Kevin Cashen actually put tool-steel (D2 if memory serves) inserts in his mower blades. I am certain he was talking about it a while back

I once attached a bingo dabber to a paintball gun for use as a bayonet.... wait... maybe that doesn't fit in with the theme of this thread. Carry on.

The theme seems pretty fluid to me...
