Kabar in D2 - Criticism

The blood groove, more properly called a "fuller" serves two purposes in blade design. It's claimed to both lighten the blade as well as stiffen it. If you do a search here at Blade Forums, you'll find it's function has been discussed numerous times.
 
it will not weaken the blade it will stiffen it and make it harder to bend. do a search this topic has been covered already.
 
Main problem I have with Ka-Bars is the square tang. Did they fix that design flaw on the Next Generation or the D2 knives?

(Also, afaik, the only way a fuller increases the stiffness of a blade is if it's hand-forged, because all that extra pounding of the metal is what stiffens it. I could be wrong though, I dunno.)
