Its a good thing to do occasionally. This way it cleanly cuts the grass, 
rather than shredding it.

Whats real fun is to run a thatch blade over a lawn. Actually buying one 
got incredulous looks from the "know-it-all" at the hardware store who 
proceeded to lecture me about how he's been mowing his lawn for some 15 
years and never needed one.

Bermuda grass needs to be thatched occasionally, or it strangles the 
soil. That year, I had the nicest, lushest, greenest lawns on the block, 
though it looked like hell immediately after the dethatching.

There's electric mowers? I'd be a bit paranoid about running over the cord.
