The Honda 72531-VE2-020 Upper Rotary Blade is a genuine OEM replacement designed for HRB215, HRB216, HRB217, HRM215, HRR216, HRS216, HRT216, and HRZ216 lawn mowers. As a direct Honda OEM part, it is built to the same specifications as the blade that left the factory, ensuring proper balance, cutting geometry, and deck clearance on every covered model. Honda supersedes parts across serial number ranges, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to make sure part number 72531-VE2-020 is the correct blade for your unit.

The upper rotary blade is the primary cutting element in a Honda walk-behind mower's deck assembly. As the engine spins the blade at high speed, its sharpened edges sever grass stems cleanly while the curved lift profile creates an upward airflow that stands grass upright before the cut and channels clippings toward the discharge chute or collection bag. When a blade becomes dull, bent, or out of balance, cut quality deteriorates, the mower deck vibrates abnormally, and the engine works harder than it should under load. Replacing a worn blade with a genuine Honda upper rotary blade restores the clean, even cut and smooth deck operation the mower was designed to deliver.
