Cut swedges vs drawn swedges ( on pocket knives )

[euroken]

Definitely swedges...

Case in point I think what is lacking of the newer Case barlows are exactly that...swedges...

I think it makes a world of difference from the aesthetic perspective, drawn OR cut!

I also felt they could use one and was tempted to put a drawn swedge on one of mine, but the nail nick is a little too close to the spine for this.

In the end I am glad to have no swedge over potentially having a poorly done or misused cut swedge though.
