 Question: what is the material between the blade and the grip ?
 And what would be its function?
 Mine doesn't have it but I suspected something might be missing at mine

 It is a kind of rope of vegetable fibers, I think it serves to hold the blade firmly inside the handle, which has a slit. Maybe it's good that your knife doesn't have it; if the blade is firm, it means that the rope is not needed.
