It is part of the stropping mechanism. Basically like a Valet. Originally Posted by Tarkus

Remove the strop and re-tighten the handle carefully to assure the blade edge goes into the end clips and re-tighten the handle.
The little screw in the back is to set the blade exposure from the front of the bar.
