I recognize Blast's knot, but I forgot the ABoK number. It's classified as a parcel knot, and is probably in the occupational knots section. I'd check there for the knot you saw.

When I want a handle/shoulder strap on a bound bundle, I use a length of cord with versatackle knots on both ends. The remaining cord between the knots becomes a handle or strap.
