It is a Schrade Walden pattern that was short lived, around the early 50's. Sorry to miss your question last month.

Looking at the swedge on my new S&M single blade jack got me to thinking about this old thread, so I figured it was time to revive it. Queen understands that a strong, deep swedge is one of the marks of a fine traditional knife.

EDIT to add picture.

Checking out this thread and drooling. ::drool::

I think folder swedges are a lot nicer than fixed blade swedges mainly because most fixed blades have them but folders are more rare, especially on newer knives.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

I gotta admit that while new knives with Swedge are pretty cool...

The Carbon blades from the 80's and back look better!

Those are all from posts over 10 years old. AAPK has come a long way since then, with capability to do photo hosting here on the site now encouraged, and third party hosting discouraged.

I used Photobucket over 10 years ago for picture storage and posting, didn't have anything to hide, and the issue might be the result of Photobucket's relatively recent requirement for paid service. I chose not to pay.

Anyho, here's some of my more recent swedged folding knife pictures. This thread is an oldie but a goody. ::nod::👍
