What is the reasoning on the blade shape/channel in the blade for that knife?

I can't speak to Schempp's original design. It may have been for weight reduction or some other purpose, I don't see it as a "blood groove". Or it could be stylistic.
Mainly, it's a stout spear point which is useful for many purposes, and the extra weight behind the blade, (in a tough steel like 3V), makes it more suitable for tasks like light chopping and batoning and such.
Thank you.
The Uncle Henry was a gift from my grandparents my senior year of high school about 82 or 83. It rode on my belt everywhere for years, through college and early in my police career. I finally wised up and bought a cheaper Schrade lockback for my duty belt until I got my first Spyderco.
The fixed blade was made by a friend a few years ago. I believe it’s S35. I’ve batoned the heck out of it. I’ve not used it on game but other friends have used theirs. I like it as it’s big enough to do work but not overly bulky. It came with a kydex sheath but I also have a SpecOps Brands sheath for it.
Truly the best action I've felt in a flipper. These are definitely next level.
Found an old friend while I was cleaning out a drawer today. This rode in my pocket on many a midnight shift.
