Sounds like a fabulous blade. The Blood Groove you refer to is a technique called "fullering", and it lightens and balances the blade, not for letting blood, I'm afraid.Cool beans! Thanks!!! This thing has a wonderful balance. Its balance point is on the blade about 1 inch from the cross piece.

I wonder what Trapper Jon would think of the HH knives?

I just bought a K bar D2. It is the sharpest blade I have ever had coming from the factory. 12 inch blade.

Can't wait to see it.
The balance is exactly as it should be...

Cold Steel, SOG are both wonderful. Randalls, of course, are wonderful - my favorite. Personally, I'd put in a word here for Marble's knives; top quality blades with very handsome presentations at a reasonable price. Check 'em out if you get a chance.

This is a true story about a buck fixed blade hunting knife used to stab a bear to death by freeper, kanawa, this summer. It makes for a good read about how useful a knife can be.
