Yahazu.
Fujita sensei is known to use the hands in a specific way while doing Aikido. He called this hand position Yahazu. It's like the notch of an arrow or the playmobil hand. Why would he use this hand position? It's likely that it it used as a grasping hand with little chance of injuring the fingers. Also this position is naturally used when doing irimi nage, ikkyo and nikkyo in the style of Fujita sensei.
Whenever I use this "power hand" the techniques appear to be more solid and structurally sound. Try and feel for yourself.
Enjoy practice.
