Katanas do not have blood grooves. They don't need them, they're very light weight weapons, and not often used for stabbing thus blood grooves were never used on them. Katanas are incredibly complex weapons. I recommend you study them in depth before you attempt to make one.

I'm sorry I have never seen a katana with a blood groove, or fuller so I assumed.
I am aware that groves are not created to release pressure when you stab some , but to make the sword light weight.
I could debate that katanas are complex, but I haven't studied other swords so I have nothing to compare with. I came here to learn, forgive my ignorance.
I have only studied the modern katana, not the older forms of the weapon.
