slidably coupling the blade insert to a main body of the mower blade, wherein the main body and the blade insert present respective end faces with matching outer edges in an operable position, wherein one of the main body and the blade insert includes a mounting tab and the other of the main body and the blade insert includes a mounting pocket sized and shaped to receive the mounting tab, and wherein slidably coupling the blade insert to the main body includes sliding the mounting tab through an opening provided in the end face of the other of the main body and the blade insert and receiving the mounting tab in the mounting pocket, the opening being defined by a closed perimeter provided in the end face of the other of the main body and the blade insert,
wherein slidably coupling the blade insert to the main body includes sliding the other one of the main body and the blade insert onto the mounting tab until the end face of the blade insert abuts the end face of the main body and restricts further sliding beyond the operable position; and
removably securing the blade insert to the main body.
