Tried to find the answer online but maybe I was using the wrong key words... What's that hole on the handle used for? Just for keep the weight down or some specific purpose during rescue/dive?

Dear superpog:

Welcome to the Spyderco Forum.

The hole in the handle is a shackle key for tightening/loosening the rigging shackles used on boats. It's also a drying vent.

Stay safe,

Mike

As Mike said it fits the shackle key.
