serrations on a knife blade...I need to know how to make them.

My EDC knife is one that I made last year for my work.
I think now that I would like to turn the whole 4&1/2 inch blade into a serrated blade.

What do you do?
 
Tape a round (chainsaw) file to a smooth rod the same size (tape at the ends).Use this to make your serrations. Once you have made the first file notch,put the smooth rod in that groove and file the next,etc.If making serrations with two sizes of grooves,you need two files and two smooth rods. Tape the opposite rod to the file,and switch from one set to the other.

Hi Stacy,

I apologise for digging out such an old thread but came across this gem of wisdom and was hoping to trouble you for a few more answers.

How thin should I grind the bevel and serrations pre heat treat. I plan on using cpm-s35v and 3-4mm stock.

Can I still then grind post HT blade up?

Thank
