I always love these threads when they come up, we get some imaginative stories and theories out of them... Unfortunately as of now there just is no definitive answer...
When I draw a blank on research, I always go back to look at the razors...
If you start back in the 1700's you can see the emergence of the "notch" from a simple C clipped out of the toe, as it then became more defined through the 1800's then ended in the early 1900's....
Personally I think just plain old aesthetics might be all it was... but maybe someday we might find if there was a true reason for it...
