The dubbing of a knight is a ritual beheading. It is an acknowledgement (bestowing of an accolade) of one who would lay his neck on the line for Crown and Country. This is why one shoulder is struck with the sword, then the other. The sword has been passed over both sides of the neck. In this manner, the sword has been ritually passed through the neck to signify his loyalty.
