Hello, We've often heard the troughs in sword blades referred to as "blood grooves." The grooves appear on broader blades, mostly to lighten the blade without reducing the width and to add stability against a flex. The arch is a force dispersion geometry common in Western architecture offers the same function in a slab of metal or a piece of paper. Has anyone heard of a blade designer, rather than a user, refer to these grooves as blood grooves? Were they added for function or form? ------------------------------ From: Brian Crowley Date: Wed, 17 Oct 2001 17:28:15 -0700 (PDT) Subject: eskrima: John Perkins Seminar - 11/18 Seminar info for anyone who might be interested: - --TAUGHT BY MASTER JOHN PERKINS, FORENSIC HOMICIDE INVESTIGATOR AND INTERNATIONAL BODY GUARD Described as "Tai Chi on steroids," Perkins has merged military Close Combat, Tai Chi internal energy, and Native American Ground-fighting into something available nowhere else.
