Many blades of samurai swords are sent with a fuller (hi). In order to adapt the bokken more realistically to a katana, the bokken is often provided with a hi-groove.
Popularly, this groove is also known as the blood groove. First and foremost, this fillet serves to reduce the weight of the blade and thus helps to improve the balance of the katana.
