Hi Jack,the Pace Edger I have not seen on a mower or a detailed image of one but I would agree
with your summery that it was just a sharpened blade that has an adjustable height mechanism.

It looks like this type of edger would have little manufacturing imagination.

I have seen an American Edger Patent with a very similar operating principle to the Pace Edger.

Regards ,
Max.
