A dull edge doesn't just cut poorly; it tears the life out of the asset. Excellence is found in the clean break.
A sharp blade uses shear force to cleanly sever the grass. A dull blade uses impact force to crush and shred it. Shreading creates white-tip desiccation, leaving the grass vulnerable to disease and pests. A clean cut allows the plant to seal the wound instantly, preserving moisture and energy for growth.
