I love the sound when the blade swings out of the holder, and clicks back in, its like the sound expresses the power of the blade

Usually katana have pegs to fasten the blade to the handle. That's what the hole is for, to put the peg through.

its to make it a little bit lighter in the hilt.. a sword needs a nice balance to word properly.
