Sorry, I meant the cuts on the back of the blade. Three on the upper knife, seven on the lower one, and as I mentioned, there are knives with only two etc.

These marks seem to be put at the transition point of the spine from flat to rounded .
Possibly they are simply decorative ?  I know, killjoy .....
