This is the only knife I have that's worthy of mention - it's shiny

I think some of my brain cells committed suicide reading your post.TheWesDude said:there are 3 reasons to have a hole in the blade
1) special consideration such as weight or balance or utility of the blade such as the blood channel on longer swords
2) the functionality of the blade such as to operate the knife
3) specific uses of the knife such as grip or putting things in it. such as when used as a trap or holding it certain ways.

First, a knife with a pattern welded blade from a swedish/german bladesmith called Götz. The handle and sheath are both hand made from scratch by me.
Next, an other knife with a pattern welded blade from the same guy. Also here the handle and sheath are both hand made from scratch by me.
And here a sword with a blade from ArmourClass and the hilt and scabbard made by myself.
This sword has a (much better) blade from Tinker/Hanwei, and the hilt and scabbard is again made by myself. This one I actually own myself.

The "blood channel" on swords is not really a blood channel, it's purpose is mainly to make for a lighter weapon without sacrificing too much strength in the blade. Keep in mind that there are plenty of sword types with no fuller (which is the real name for the "blood channel") at all.
