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.

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.
