Excellent observations as always Chris! I hadn't noticed that 'strap' or whatever it is. While there are several variations on these 'nimchas' with either pitones, or the so called 'Zanzibar' form with the ring loop over the blade, I cant say Ive ever seen a feature like that either. Would be interesting to learn more about this and if anyone else has seen anything like it.

All the best,
Jim
