Yea, "blood grooves" sound far more exciting, but unfortunately physiology doesn't work that way. I'll be addressing a lot of similar knife myths as the channel progresses.
One big use of fullers is to help provide lateral stiffness to the blade. A diamond shape has very little resistance to bending, while a "double diamond" shape basically doubles that stiffness, while also having a hollowed out section to reduce weight. Bending resistance is VERY important. On the show "Forged in Fire," a lot of blades fail the pig-cutting test because they bend sideways instead of slicing through.
Yup! Since this is a short I didn't go into too much detail about the mechanics of how the fuller helps reinforce the blade. I'm hoping in future to come back and revisit the topic in much greater detail and delve into the science and engineering behind them!

Its technically possible, but you will have to be very careful not to ruin your temper during the grinding process. The steel will also be much harder to work.

Even though the "Blood Grove" concept sounds way cooler, I now understand the reasoning behind it. Thanks man!

Good job, keep up!
Thanks, will do!
Very interesting video, sir! Best regards from Brazil.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I hope to see you around the channel again!

The Main reason for a Fuller is to stiffen the blade .
Sp thats what a fuller is
Can I add fuller after quench?
