Why does this nut have a small slice in it?

QUOTE(Type 47 @ Jul 22 2013, 11:18 AM)  Why does this nut have a small slice in it? It is a lock nut. after the slice is made and then smashed it binds on the threads of the bolt so that is doesn't loosen up. |

It helps keeping it from vibrating off. Just another variation on a locking nut
