Knives are usually not flat along the back for stylistic reasons, so sweeping it under the flour with the blade sideways keeps the line completely straight. It takes two sweeps instead of one this way, and it's totally anal, but that's how I learned it :) I do the sifting as well, but I was also taught to sweep the excess flour with the knife horizontally as opposed to vertically.
