I came across the idea a while ago that the end of rotating blade should cut (or slice) much more efficiently than the side. Just like a string trimmer cuts most efficiently with the tip of the string. The person suggesting this seemed to imply that lawnmower blades should be sharpened at the ends, not the sides (as they normally are). Essentially the end draw-cuts while the side push-cuts and obviously the draw cut is much more efficient.
My question is whether anybody has seen or heard of blades sharpened this way? I've been waiting for the grass to start growing to experiment with this myself.
