I'm not sure, seems unique to the Zulu spears, their tanged axes don't have the pinch, but all their spears do, and other tribes do not have it. As i mentioned, other tribes made weapons for them, so they only seem to have pinched the zulu ones. Maybe a mark to differentiate them as intended for the zulu, like the british broad arrow. Maybe someone else knows more.
