How to fix lawn mower tearing grass instead of slicing?

After mowing I noticed lawn mower smash the grass instead of slicing it. Causing them to tear rather than slicing the grass, leading to brown, frayed tips.

My lawn mower blade chamber and blades are in the photos. I sharpened the blades too.

Is the mower with full blade can solve this problem?

Experts advise please.

Note: All the blades available in Bunnings are not sharp too. They are blunt.

 

Thanks!

Re: Lawn mowers smash the grass instead of slicing it

Hello @Samanta2024 

 

Thank you for sharing your question about your lawn mower. Can you please tell us which model of lawn mower you have? Once you tell us the type of mower you have we can narrow down the probable cause of why the grass is getting smashed instead of cut.
