It was not a process improvement to reduce cycle time or cost. It is an additional fixture and an additional operation and they are done one at a time.
The straight line segments on the block signature are a potential stress riser that do not need to be out in the blade. I see moving that block signature off of the blade and out into an unstressed area of the tang as an improvement.
I honestly was wondering if that was part of the reason, that's awesome. Lack of stress risers are part of why I like the bevel / ricasso transitions so much on your knives... anything else just looks wrong now.
