here's a close up of the handle.. sorry, i had it all assembled together before i read your request, kai.
had this kris for awhile. just didn't like the space between the handle and the blade with the epoxy actually bulging out in some areas.
as far as the variation on how the strap is assembled, i've seen this done before, whereas the straps run inside the handle as oppose to the outside. the only difference on this is how short the strap was; normally it's about the length of the tang itself.
