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

[Sharp & Fiery]

I love a great swedge…what better thread than a thread dedicated to swedges…whether it be a custom or production, what swedge gets your motor running?


Hoping to have a photo heavy thread.

I'm a fan, personally.

Absolutely stunning work and beautiful swedges.
Wow!

Great idea for a thread.

Here are two of my favorites.

The Emerson CQC-7 has one of my favorite grinds of all time, and a big part of that is down to the swedge.

All of Hinderer's Bowie blades have a killer swedge, but there's something about it on the XM-24 that I just love.

Cool thread. I like them, have quite few ... hard to pick a "swedge choice of the day" .

I love a nice swedge. I’ve always found them pleasing to the eye. I’m currently swedgeless but I’d like to change that in the near future.

Back in the late '90s when I bought two Large Regular Sebenzas, I chose to have one be the basic plain model and for variety had them do double thumbstuds and a swedge on the second one...which, unfortunately, is in storage, so no pics.

What is a swedge good for?

I like a flat, 90-degree spine that can be used for scraping things.

Who says you can’t have a swedge AND a portion that is 90°?

Swedges are good for penetration. You’re welcome.

For instance, when I was in Hawaii, I wanted to poke a hole in a coconut…the swedge helped.
Also, that is not an easy thing to do.

I’d love to put a swedge on one of my 21’s. Hmmmm….

Beautiful work !

Do you know if the original Kephart had a swedge, too ?

When they still did regrinds, Tom and Josh did some great swedges:
