So I was contemplating the purpose of the notch found on many cold steel knife blades, as pointed out in the picture below. I find it a hinderance when I want to cut thin rope for example, because in drawing the blade across the rope it gets stuck in said notch. This means I have to take time to carefully place the rope on the end of the blade and start from there.
Can anyone explain the purpose of this design feature? It is found on many of their folding blades. It is not, as I initially thought, where the blade meets the stop pin with folded. Is my blade usage technique wrong? Any suggestions for how to fill in this notch on my otherwise perfect blade?
