The misconception of the blood groove, often associated with swords and knives, likely originated from a misunderstanding of the design and purpose of the fuller, a groove or channel running along the blade. While some believe it serves to prevent blood from clogging the blade, the fuller actually reduces weight and increases strength. This design aids in the balance and maneuverability of the weapon, rather than addressing blood flow. Over time, this misconception has been perpetuated in popular culture and media.

What is the difference between a blood gauge knife and a regular knife?

I think you may mean a knife with a blood groove, as I am not familiar with anything called a blood gage knife. A blood groove is the colloquial name for the hollowed out strip on some knives. You can see it on the KA-BAR USMC fighting knife, for instance. The proper term for that strip is a fuller. Some people call it a blood groove because they think it is to help drain blood away from the tip of the knife when it is used in combat. Really, a fuller just takes some weight away from a heavy knife without reducing the strength of the blade.
