Schrade did a good job of designing these whittler blades. The combination of facets, including the swedges, makes a nice play on the reflections of light. I'll bet a camera can do even better - one of these days . . . . . . . . .

I'm nearly certain that it is an optical illusion, but the main blades on those seems to have a different grind from the other blades.... Gotta be an illusion!

Just another place to say Flat grind ROCKS! ::ds::

That sway back with yellow bone is a sweetheart!

New knife, GEC Northfield sunfish, but has a long pull and swedges. The pull side is swedged to the end of the pull and the pile side is swedged to the tang, makes an interesting profile from the top view. Have not tried any outdoor pics yet as per advice from Wullie as it has been cloudy and cold here the last few days.

Here is a nice swedge on this Schatt & Morgan harness jack that I am selling now in the Knife Auctions forum for Johnnie Fain's widow.
If you really like it, make a bid. It goes to a great cause! ::tu:: ::tu::

That HJ is one of my SFOs that I sent to Johnnie. It is all 1095 steel, with hard snap on the blades, especially the punch for safety reasons.
The punch is simple but effective, and knowtracks tells me, very much appreciated by people who work with leather in his neck of the woods.
That model, was my hottest seller, and were sold out long ago!
I saved back one, or I'd be bidding to buy it back!! :mrgreen:

All wonderful knives gentlemen, every one of them. thawk, that Diamond Edge 3 bladed stockman has blade cuts that resemble the Case new grind blades that Case did for a couple of years back in the 1980's before dropping it. Thanks for the info on the HJ Dale. Keep the pictures coming guys.

I'll start with the smallest swedge I have seen, about 1/4 inch long on the blade of this KaBar one hand man...

Image

I love seeing swedges on radical clips blades such as this one...

Image

It is nice to see modern knives with well done swedges, I love the way the forward nail nick is incorporated into the swedge on this Colt...

Image

And to my eye a correctly done swedge on a spear point says it all...
