The Nisaku nejiri gama uses an angled sharpened stainless steel knife-like head to slice through the weeds. In testing, I found it worked better than a rake or a head in my mulched areas by cutting through the roots instead of just scraping the weeds.

In the reviews I read the biggest complaint seemed to be the handle being too short. I didn't find it uncomfortable as a taller person at 6'4", but it is about 15" shorter than a normal typical rake would be.
