I am wondering if it is safe to use a 2 hole kidney plate to grind meat to get larger chunks. Basically to us it as my first grind to season the meat. Would I need separate blade than the original provided blade?
 
Safe? Sure. I seasoned meat pre grind for a bit (especially just doing breakfast bulk) but nowadays I just dump it all in post grind. I don't know if my reasoning has any merit, but my reasoning is that I want to keep salt away from my plates and knives.

Some people have a matched blade/knife per plate, I don't.
