The opposite direction that the blade rotates. In this case I would say counter clockwise but their should be a marking somewhere on the mower that shows blade rotation direction.
To remove the fastener that holds a mower blade on, turn the fastener in the direction the blade rotates to cut the grass. Look at the blade, find the "leading" or sharp edge, and, while holding the blade, turn the fastener in that direction. There is a good reason that this is always true. It has to do with the physics of the machine. Imagine the fastener being "held in place" to stop it from turning as the machine starts. With the machine starting to turn, the fastener will tighten. The last thing you want is to have the fastener become loose when the machine is running. The blade could kill or injure someone if it came off. That's why the fasteners that hold the blades on these machines always come loose when turned in the direction the blade rotates.

You can turn it both ways to see how sharp it is.
counterclockwise
counterclockwise
what direction do you turn the oil pan bolt to come off a 2005 infiniti g35
With the bolt facing you, you should turn the bolt anti-clockwise to loosen it. It will be a right hand thread.
The sharp edge of the blade should rotate in the same direction as the engine. Turn the engine slightly to see which direction it rotates and install the blade accordingly.
any saw is the opposite of the way the blade spins!
Counter clockwise
