That hook shaped carving is an expansion slot @bitfiend

They laser cut them in several places around the blade to prevent the blade from warping when it heats up. They are curved to relieve stresses at the end of the expansion slot.

Thanks for explaining this! I assumed they were there for some kind of flexibility.
