What Are These Notches?

I see these notches on a lot of fully ribbed handles. Can someone please tell me what causes this? I'm trying to imagine any common kitchen activity that would produce enough force to dent cast iron like this. Thanks.

Cast iron doesn't dent. The damage was likely to the aluminum pattern, assuming it was not an intentionally-made marking device.
 
I have a few Wapaks that have those marks too....sometimes 1, sometimes 3....maybe a shift indicator? I always wondered that too.
