    The Elliott you linked to is purely a near-wedge. Just with the grooves ground in. Many like this were done on the 'show' side only.
    A style thing.

    It is true that it is a near wedge with grooves cut in it, in this instance on both sides. I thought is was a swaged blade. Is there a name for this fancy grooved wedge.

    I feel a 'fancy grooved wedge' is appropriate. So it shall be!

    The difference between a swaged blade and double swaged seems to be becoming evident.
    It's all up in the air. Like faux framebacks!
