The unsharpened notch where the edge meets the handle.

刃口与刀柄交接处未开刃的凹口。

A choil is the small unsharpened notch or cut-out at the base of the cutting edge, where the blade meets the handle. A finger choil is enlarged so a finger can sit there for close control.

It also makes sharpening the full edge easier.

刃根凹口（choil）是刃口根部、刀身与刀柄交接处未开刃的小凹口或切口。加大的手指凹口（finger choil）可以放一根手指，便于近距离精细控制。

它也让整条刃口更容易磨到。
