Is swedge really neccessary for the small classic? I mean they already have a very pointy blade. That's why I want to see a photo of it. I guess it would be better if I got a small regular with dual thumb lugs, swedge and some kind of an insert.

So, can anyone PLEASE post a picture of two sebenzas for a comparison - small classic and small classic WITH A SWEDGE. I've been looking literally EVERYWHERE but can't seem to find it.


Thx!
 
I don't have a picture to post for you but New Graham has both variants pictured on their website. You can see the small Classic next to the small Classic w/ swedge.
 
When I talked to Heather at CRK a few weeks ago I thoght she said the swedge option
is only available on the regular Sebanza.

That could well be true. All the swedge pix on New Graham's website are on regular Sebbies. The small Classic regular blade is pictured next to the small regular swedge blade. I didn't notice that the swedge blade was on a regular Sebbie on the first go-round.
 
Thanks for the replies. I guess the blade is already pointy enough without the swedge on classic sebbies.
 
I checked New Graham and it says "sharpened swedge"??? The swedge is supposed to be a false edge right? At least on folders. It's for esthetics, to make the blade pointier and more appealing. Otherwise it would be left out when you close the knife.

That's right. However, the swedges on my Sebbies are pretty sharp. My small came almost sharp enough to cut and my large was sharp enough to cut. I EDC the small one and didn't like it so sharp, so I knocked it off with a couple of light strokes with a extra fine Arkansas stone.
 
I have a Lg Reg with dual lugs and a SHARP sharpened swedge. It is great! I would never have another regular without a swedge.
 
Kenny:

A swedge is a a thinned out area on the spine of the blade at the tip end. Most of the time they aren't sharp. When they are sharpened it's like having a double edged knife at the last inch or so of blade.;)
