Photos Swedge me!! (Livin’ on the swedge)

[AntDog]

AntDog, The 8th photo, the fixed blade with stag handle, who made that knife? Thanks, John

David Stifle - aka “da Chief”. It was given to me by my buddy Dopic1 .

It has cut up a hell of a lot of meat. Slices pork loin like nobody’s business.

Had some serious deja vu for a second so I checked…. You asked me last year too.

AntDog, Thanks! I thought I had asked about that knife before, but could not find the photo with the name in my files! John

No problem at all, sir! Don’t mind one bit. That one’s one of my favorites.

Thank YOU for always being a helpful resource for all of us. You wouldn’t believe how many times I’ve looked something up on a SOG knife and there’s the answer I was looking for - posted by you years ago!

A chisel grind swedge on my DM Stoat, gives me a nice scraping edge for work stuff.

I didn't choose the swedge life, the swedge life chose me!

I use knives to duburr things like the inside of a cut pipe or open up a hole etc. I like a swedge on a knife that's used like that (where the spine is riding against the inside of the cut) because it rides over little bumps in the cut more smoothly which reduces the tendency of the edge to gouge. It gives a smoother cut.

A large swedge can take some weight off the end of a tip heavy knife without some of the disadvantages of a clip.

When used as a design element it is a way to drop the shoulders to create a diamond cross section of a reinforced point, where you want the widest part of the blade (the shoulders) directly behind and in line with the point.

A swedge can be functional, not just for looks. It's a tool in the arsenal when you're trying to shape a blade for a particular use.

Like this?
