The blade on my lawnmower is really soft. Would it be possible to heat treat it to harden it? Or is it made of cheese for a reason other than cost.

I suspect safety. It doesn't need to be hard to cut grass, if it was hard it might chip when encountering debris such as stones, which would lead to shards of steel flying off at high velocity.
Easier to sharpen then too. Is this a push/reel mower or powered?
