Blood grove?

I call the grooves in my blade "mustard grooves". For re-directing mustard-spray when de-animating a sandwich. One must be properly equipped for the mission 😁 .



Hey Retlawman590, I hope you don't mind us having a little fun with your thread. That's all it is, a little fun. I can assure you that no one is mocking you, your thread, or your interest in learning about "blood grooves" :).

That's a LOT of mustard.
 
The fact that it was $900 is what's truly shocking!
I say the same thing every time I see one of them. There ain't no way I'm paying $900 for that. I don't know much about it, but I think you got to unscrew the knife from this metal sheath?

That damn insurgent sandwich wouldn't go down without a fight. I had to "bleed" him a little before finishing him off. It was messy work, but thankfully I had a blade with a mustard groove to keep all that spicy yellow condiment from spraying my face and burning my eyes.

It was a hard fight, but I prevailed in the end. So fear not, that sandwich has departed this earth, and now resides (temporarily) in my digestive tract.

Once more our country is safe from chicken, bacon, and cheddar on a white roll. But the fight continues.
 
It is an added feature for collecting crud. Always check your ā€œblood grooveā€ before meal prep.

Yes you have to unscrew it from the sheath. Yeah I have time for that in an SD situation. Plus, it's gotta be a nightmare to sharpen.
 
Fullers go back a long way. A functional one is used to reduce the weight of a sword, large knife, bayonet etc... without significantly compromising durability. It uses the same principle of an I beam in construction work to reduce weight and resist bending or excessive flexing.

That is what they were made for despite the fact that many use fullers for looks and/or hogwash tactical marking of the mythical "blood groove."

Trust me it ain't going to matter whether the blade you get stabbed with has a groove down the middle or not. It's going to be bad regardless.
I think that "Blood Groove" serves the same function in knives as "Tactical" does in guns.
 
Urban legend. A "blood groove" does nothing to increase bleeding or to facilitate easier removal.

As others have said, it does reduce weight and can be used to change the balance point on larger knives.
This is correct. The only blade I can think of that was specifically designed to create open/ bleeding wounds is the triangular bayonets. I may be wrong but if I remember correctly the purpose for those was to leave a jagged star shaped wound that would bleed as opposed to a small slit that would have a tendency to close up and seal off. Personally I don’t like being stuck with needles, so getting stuck by any type of blade doesn’t sound like fun

Even this is doubtful, to expressly create a wound that bleeds severely, the cruciform bayonet was made to deter breakage from lateral forces, which straight bayonets can be prone to.
