Fuller - Definition and Overview

• This page is about features of bladed weapons.
• For the American visionary, designer, architect, inventor, and writer, see Buckminster Fuller.
• For other people named Fuller, see Fuller (disambiguation).

Fullers are the rounded or beveled grooves on either of a sword's flat - often called blood grooves. This is a terrible misnomer, considering they serve mainly to lighten the blade, rather than to allow blood to flow from a stabbed person (especially considering most fullers don't extend far enough to be used for such a purpose).
