That blade is worn out too!
Maybe you're letting your blades so dull that is putting enough strain to bend the blades.
Don't you ever sharpen them?
I let my blades get in sorry shape too, but I try to sharpen them at least a couple of weeks before that stage.
I will say that the notched foil "Gator" style blades bend more easily than standard foil blades.

Sorry guys, didn't do a good job on posting this. I didn't put into one thread. Just tried these blades and won't use them again. The other pictures that were to be with this, if I had done it right shows a regular blade bent like this one. Some of the guys on the other thread I posted seem to think it bent because of excess heat of cutting. Cheap metal aftermarket blade. Might have hit a small rock with this blade, but nothing major. It was a new blade. Sorry about the confusion, haven't gottten the hang of posting things yet.

I have a few blades like that. Save it, use it if someone asks you to mow a field or you can use it to practice your sharpening skills. Thats what i need to do.
