Nice knife, quick question: I keep seeing blades with that semicircle notch on the back of the blade, what is that for?

 

[Patrickknives]

It provides flexability in your grip, you can put more pressure on the blade with your thumb or when you hold the blade sideways you can choke up with your index finger for more control of the tip.

i dont mean the notch on the handle, I mean the little semicircle cut out on the blade itself. Where the blade meets the handle there is a little cut out on the blade, what is that for?

It maked the knife a little easier to sharpen. this knife doesnt have much of a riccasso but you would have to sharpen to the edge with is dangerous, you would have a sharp corner near your hand. On knives with a larger ricasso you end up with a dull spot where the blade joins the ricasso.
