The gauntlet with the scissor knife is a part which the gladiator put his hand into, because on a relief from Hierapolis (Pamukkale, Turkey) showing two pictures of the same fight between two scissores one of the loses the gauntlet during the fight. On a stele the gauntlet as well as other armor are shown.
Therefore I assume, that this is a removable item of the armor like a sword or shield.
The items I refered to are shown in the new edition of the Junkelmann on page 210.
