I DON'T!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> To me, it's just wasted space that could be used for additional cutting edge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> The choil allows one to choke up on the blade, if one is inclined to do so. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

it's for indexing. it's pretty useful on larger blades in reducing leverage when you need to do more delicate work but you should have a smaller knife on hand for that anyway.
mostly for style.

I use choils occasionally - mostly when I'm sharpening a knife <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I have not even thought about it except opening a bottle of beer or soda.
I do like the choil when I am sharpening.

Generally I don't either, although I have used it to choke up on the blade from time to time.
