Question about HR grooves.

[UffDa]

I have always wondered about the grooves on the Hell Razor. Do they serve any purpose or are they just a decoration? Do they cause any problems? The Mud Razor doesn't have them. (I'm not referring to the large groove in the center of the blade.)

Thanks.

This might explain a little bit for you.

Josh is referring to the Granton edge. That is something totally different.

Thanks anyway.

i've wondered that myself. certainly doesn't hurt anything.

should be interesting to find out what the groove story is...

I think the groove on the HR is a true fuller, often seen on forged swords. What the actual purpose is has been debated for many years. It apparently will stiffen the blade during the forging process. Whether this is noticeable in a short blade like an HR is again debatable. This link may shed a little light on this subject:

That's the Corrugated Bevel Technology (CBT). Jerry talks a bit about it here.

Glad I could help.

I only had to explain it a few dozen times last weekend!

I need to learn how to read. I'm a ___ (insert smilie we're not supposed to use).
