First knife with serrations

[Phillip Patton]

I really had no clue what I was doing, but a customer requested a knife with serrations, and I thought it might be wise to learn on something cheaper than a 9" damascus blade.

So, here it is. The blade is A2. I cut the grooves in before heat treat with a chainsaw file, then cleaned them up after heat treat with a diamond bit and my foredom grinder.

So, what's the best way to do it? Is there a tutorial around on making serrations? I have no idea how durable this will be, so I'm going to EDC it for awhile and find out.

Looks pretty sweet to me. Just out of curiosity, how long – approximately – did it take you to cut those buggers in?
