I've always filed my plastic blades... mostly out of having to knock the
roughness off from where I try to beat up rocks. I didn't look at what kind
of blade you mentioned earlier, so I wasn't thinking metal anyway. I doubt
that a metal blade would last too long around here.

Its a plastic blade. Although I plan to if I can't find an aluminum blade
for it.

I have seen the Motor Guide Machete. My partner, Hammer, uses it on
his
Motorguide. It seems to be a very good weedless design. The big
thing
though is that Hammer sharpens the blades on his, and it really cuts
through
the weeds. I was very impressed with it.

I really like the blade, and the idea. Unfortunatley, I can't find
one
for
my Minn Kota. I'm not about to sell my new Minn Kota Maxxum and buy a
Motor
Guide to take advantage of this.

I do have a MotorGuide 76# that I had reapired and keep as a spare,
but
I
doubt I will put it back on my Baker unless the Minn Kota fails. I
like
the
control of the Minn Kota better.

I did recently order a 16' Waco jon boat for shallow backwater
running.
I
might put the Motor Guide on that, but I woould really like a Machete
style
prop for my Minn Kota.
