Well this is my fault for going off topic. You are correct, of course, that that grooves on the spines of blades can serve many purposes. Most sgians I've seen have file marks. Here's an example of a lovely Rab Gordon, like Robin was talking about.
Just curious, have you ever seen a functional fish scaler on a sgian dubh?
Best regards,
Jake
