Khatt ar-raml/sand writing & blade marks?

To me this seems to make good sense and a natural human response to imbue a potent object with good fortune, but who am I to say so. I will bet that nearly all of us could find a possible example and it will be on an Islamic object. It is possible that some marks were/are added as a matter of tradition and no longer active or understood by the makers, and so could also be corrupted in design.
