I wonder if it may be a "mulching blade"?

English translation:high lift blade
Explanation:
It's a possiblity. This German site with French and English has this as a translation -pity you have no picture to compare with.

Other lawn mower companies talk about ventilation which helps drive the grass clippings away from the blade (into the bin).

Winnowing blade


Explanation:
As this refers to a mower,I am fairly certain that it is fitted with a winnowing blade

THis equipment is similar to a lawn mower where the cut grass comes out between the space between blades. This is used in vineyard to keep the area clean.

The mower has a blade the which cuts the grass and throws out through the openings between blades, as I have said earlier.This is termed as
"ventilée" in the French text.

Asker: I would be happy to take your word for it but unfortunately I need some corroborative reference from the Web if I am to be taken seriously by my client.
