Yeah Rick, "thorn" is OK.
Some people call it "tampingan" which just means edge or border, or shoulder, others call it ri cangkring, "ri" is "eri" which means thorn, and "cangkring " is a sort of thorny tree.
But you do not push your thumb against this to remove the blade from the scabbard, you push it against the broad part of the top of the wrongko, just in front of the sirah cecak.
