I went to home depot. They only have 20-inch blade on shelf for $20. I checked their website and found the 16-inch blade sells for $55 which is ridiculous. Can anyone tell me where I can buy a replacement blade with reasonable price? Or any other non-Ryobi brand that is compatible with my lawn mower? Thank you RFDers.

If it's too damaged to be sharped, look on kijiji for lawnmower blades. It doesn't have to be a ryobi brand, it just has to fit.

I already tried Kijiji but did not find a Ryobi 16-inch blade. I did not find a universal blade stating it is compatible with Ryobi. I do not know if it can be used. Even among the universal ones, 16-inch size blade is very rare. I guess only Ryobi has 16" mowers so it does not worth manufacturing it.
I would not deny getting someone sharpen the blade but where can I find this service (in York Region)? At a reasonable price?

Otherwise you can probably google knife sharpening, or small motor repair and find something local. In my neighbourhood, there's a guy that drives around offering knife/tool sharpening.
