Despite what some of you have decided to type into this forum on the subject of BloodGrooves in the blades of knives, and their supposed purpose, here is the actual benefit of first-hand knowledge on display for all of you who are as tired as I am of the neverending supply of idiotic and unproven theories on the subject. The purpose they actually serve, in a well-crafted knife, particularly in a shiv, or any flat piece of metal sharpened on one end (no handle material), is this: When in a crowd, an assassin may sink his blade into the kidney of his mark from behind, and not spill enough blood to make the hit noticeable as a stabbing. The victim's blood erupts in a much slighter quantity, due to the lightning-fast in and out "shanking", and therefore, is generally not more than can be caught in the bloodgroove of the blade (much like the principal at work in a child's bubble-wand) until the assassin has had more than enough time to make his way through the crowd, generally unnoticed in the wake of the sharp cry of pain let out by his victim. In my experience, the man is generally assumed to be having either a heart-attack, or a seizure of some kind, until it is far too late for the bystanders who inevitably gather 'round him to be of help sufficient enough to save his life.
 
your explanation is confusing....can you try to explain?
 
Good Evening-

It's his first post and Sliver is already alluding to "idiotic" discussions from fellow Forumites. Sheesh. :rolleyes:

And then, this dude whipped out his civilian and chopped off my arm, but luckily I picked up a moose and swung it at him, and the moose kicked him in the face. So then this girl fell down so I picked her up and ran away with her to get her to the hospital. I'm such a cool badass mall ninja. Killing people in crowds is fun. Forget the fact that 'blood grooves' are also on swords, I speak the truth from my awesome experience. I also carry a 6 shooter chambered in .50 BMG. You're a pussy if you carry anything less.

Cry from a stabbing = cry from a heart attack. LOL!

LOL! You're pretty enterprising for a 19 year old. Good for you for becoming such a good hitman at such a young age that people mistake your victims for sufferers of heart attacks. Self employment is good isn't it? No boss to tell you which crowd to roll up into. You get to work for yourself, pick your own 'marks.' Thanks for giving us some good bedtime reading.

So, uh, the "blood grooves" on swords...they help keep people from noticing someone getting skewered? :rolleyes:
 
Hey, I'm 19 years old too.

What's wrong with self-employment as an assassin? Once I used a shiv on a mark, but good thing it was really expensive and had a blood groove, so I...

Hehe :) j/k.

Here's an FAQ written by Joe Talmadge on the subject of blood grooves.

Knife FAQ (click on Blood Grove FAQ)
 
I love those bubble-wands but it's been such a long time since I've had one I don't know what they are.

BTW it's been my experience that when an unsuspecting mark is stabbed they may perceive it as, only a punch from a fist or like a jab, from an elbow hence no screem.

Bloodgroves, I know the answer and gave it one time.
 
While in County Jail I had a very lucrative business making shanks with blood grooves out of toobrushes.

Now I may sound Idiotic but having stabbed over 700 inmates with various shanks just last week, I know first hand that a soft bristle Oral-B with a bllod groove when inserted quickly up one's Rectum DOES IN FACT mimic a Heart Attack.

As long as the Tooth-Brush shank has a blood groove, the person DIES and NO ONE has any idea that he was "shanked". The Jail Officials have always determined that the deceased had grown teeth inside his Anus and had a Heart attack when the Inmate discovered the Teeth and tried to brush them with colgate. [Crest does not work].

Did I tell you about the time that I was attacked by 456768767 Drug dealers?. I had this cheap knife from Taiwan but it had a blood groove.................Never mind, how IDIOTIC of me:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :p

ROFLMAO !

OK class, remember that. If you are getting stabbed, make sure they are quick thrusts. You won't bleed as much.
 
And you guys wanted to get rid of the trolls. I like it! He (she?) probably thinks this is a good, funny, controversial post, whatever. Perhaps we should link old wormgroove shankboy to some real TROLL threads.....lmao @ sliver.
 
Wolfmann, probably your best, most truthful, honest, and forthright post so far. At last you make sense. LOL :D

A few prior idiotic and unproven discussions of blood grooves:

Grooves in the side of blades

Blood vents

And probably the longest, most arcane,. and entertaining thread on this most fascinating topic of blade lore:
What are blood grooves for?

Of course, everyone knows what blood groove discussions are for, MURDEROUSLY FUNNY ENTERTAINMENT! Please don;t fall down laughing on anything sharp, especially if it has a blood groove. It could be totally fatal. Totally.

Para 'blood groove' celsus
 
It has been proven that excessive boodgroove threads can cause far too much laughter for the average person, thus inducing asphyxiation. This is where the mysterious bloodgroove/heartattack connection lies. Coroners often mistake “bloodgroove laughter asphyxiation syndrome” for a common heartattack, but the “bloodgroove laughter asphyxiation syndrome” is much more insidious.
 
HAHAHAHA ok, great posts guys. Thanks for setting me straight. Count me in as one of the guys who thought it was for suction!
 
I've always wondered why the Jedi's don't put blood grooves on their light sabers. Sliver - please enlighten me as to why.

Toolhead, although you can't see it, there is a blood groove in the light saber. The outer perimeter of the light saber causes instantaneous cauterization of the wound, thus preventing in inordinant amount of blood loss during a simple impalement or dismemberment. The blood groove concept is just as valid for fantasy weapons like the light saber as it is for real stealth weapons like like the Oral-B. Blood Grooves work if you think they do. Really.

9/10 prison assasins recommend the oral-b as the shiv material of choice. They can't all be wrong can they?
