Still don't think it is tape. Stuff can get gummy pretty quickly and still would't make sense for a standard knife imo. We may never know.
I think the first time I have seen tape used was on an early model 18.
WWII leather thongs were generally, at least early on, prolly 3/16" to 1/4" leather stripping. I have half a dozen sitting here now. Actually, just sent one out to a collector that was a good example. While comfortable around the wrist say versus Nam era square cut thongs, it wasn't as strong.
** Still can't post photos. Come out the size of a postage stamp.
