My invention relates 'to a blade for road and the offset perniits the earth to slide along graders and the like, and one of the objects the face of the blade and mold board with is to provide a blade in which less metal can less resistance than if the blade was of the be used than heretofore, at the saine time thickness throughout its entire width.

Grader blades have heretofore been made 1c With these and other objects in View iny of equal thickness throughout their entire 55 invention consists in certain novel and pecu- -width. lhey are discarded when about three liar features of construction and combination inches are worn from them, due to the fact of parts as will be hereinafter more fully dethat the upper half ofthe blade is bolted to scribed and particularly pointed out in the the incid board in order to support it.
