Hello there,

Mmmmm …. in the same order as the last “what am i”, i’d say Katana blade?

First glance: a stylised, artistic take on a horizon in the ocean.

Second glance: macro shot of a metal edge on blue paper casting a shadow.

After seeing a “habaki” as a part of a katana last time, i would say this is the edge of one of these swords.

Looks like the edge of a sword. Probably related to that hibaki you posted.

Looks like the edge of a scythe blade – or any other blade I suppose.
