I am amazed at all the different ways the blade profile can make a knife work better.

"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." 

Some of my knives have a swedge, some don't.

In Scotland, the colloqual term "to swedge" means "to have a fight with somebody".

I love a knife blade with a swedge.

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. 

I like a good swedge job on a knife. 

I like the swedge on a knife if it is in the right place.

I like the SOG Swedge III.

Though I don't own one yet I am really liking the winterbottom bone handle on the Frank's Classic knives.
