I'm not searching my images to get a similar blade tip for your sake, so I don't care if you're disappointed and feel like it is "too bad this interesting thread ends with discussing just blade-ends.
I'm doing my efforts for Roy and other collectors who appreciate my efforts.
Also I think my (borrowed) image has more similarities with Roy's piece as all of your posted pieces. But anyway, let's keep to the topic!

Are you referring to the "blade tip"? Otherwise I don't see the similarity...

As Michael allready stated earlier, this is not uncommon, and I've seen these square holes with and without hair.

Maybe we find other things more important as you do. Sorry for our shortcoming....
