Kellydz, it is most definitely a miscanthus. I have about ten different kinds, and between the shimmering effect and the fact that it slices things, combined with its hesitancy to bloom makes me think that it is definitely Morning Light. It disappointed me by not blooming for a few years (it was the only one that didn't) because it requires a long season and some maturity to bloom. Mine has not bloomed yet, and tends to be the last to do so - usually in October.

Have a look at this closeup.

By the way, this is one of the most prized grasses.

For ease of cutting it down in the spring, I find using duct tape and a hedge trimmer - and long sleeves and gloves - work well.
