The purpose of the hole in a knife blade depends on the type of knife. Machetes and similar tools/weapons often have a hole near the blade end.. The hole is for hanging the machete from a wall. Secondarily, the hole can be used improvise applications. For machetes with saw teeth on the top edge of the blade, (see the Gerber Machete), a rope can be passed through the hole to turn the saw into a two-person saw.
For other, smaller blades the holes function to reduce the weight of the blade, to strengthen the blade through the distribution of the force acting on the blade, to provide a leverage point for one-handed opening of a folding knife, or as ornamentation. In general, they are ornamentation. The holes on these knives are generally in the body of the blade or toward the rear of the blade.
