"The swedge was designed to help guide the blade into the channel without catching the top of the other blades. Later as quality of fit increased, it was considered a mark of fine workmanship."

I really like a swedge on a blade. Not only is it useful, it also can add character to a mundane blade.

If you'd like to see a knife with a swedge and beautiful lines throughout, take a look at Ken Erickson's Swell Center Hunter.

Ken incorporates a swedge into many of his designs.
