What I heard about the blood groove was that it dramatically increased blood loss, that without the blood grove the knife itself sealed the wound. With the blood groove blood loss starts immediately.
The woman who gave me the COVID-19 vaccination at Walmart stabbed me so bad she struck bone, then she fumbled the syringe or something and changed the angle of the needle while it was still stuck in my arm. I bled like a pig stuck with a bayonet with a blood groove !
came upon a guy practicing knife throwing on his break at work one time.
I don't have a problem with it, personally, and I asked if he was getting any better.
"yeah. maybe it will come in handy for self defense someday."
"oh?"
"yeah maybe like get the guy in the leg when he's running away, you know?"
"um... that doesn't too much like self defense to me... I don't think that's a good idea."
"yeah well you know what I mean."
My mother-in-law...I once offered to sharpen her kitchen knives many years ago, because they honestly weren't much better than butter knives. No exaggeration.
Nope. Nothing doing.
Why?
Because dull knives were safer.
*sigh*
Fortunately, my wife does not fall in her mother's footsteps with this particular belief.
That cutting paper with a knife will dull the edge of the blade faster than most anything else. Or maybe it's true; I've never actually tested the claim.
