They all have blade brakes. I think what you're asking is if it has a
clutch to allow the engine to continue running. Sounds like it doesn't.

The HRG "Izy" range only have OPC (Operator Pressent Contol) devices
which is a
flywheel brake / ignition kill device.  It kills the engine
and stops the blade
when the handle is released and is fitted to about
90% of lawn mowers these days
due to European legislation!

Honda HRB, HRD, HRH and the modern HRX models all feature the Honda
patented BBC
(Blade Brake Clutch) design which, as mentioned above, is a
clutch between the
engine and the blade.  This mechanism will stop the
blade when the handle is
released but allow the engine to continue
running unlike the OPC design fitted
to the budget HRG models.
