serrations

[Rookie7]

I know that many knife makers are not fans of serrations, but I am making a knife for sea kayaking, and I cut a lot of line, large and small. Any suggestions on how to make serrations? Tools? Any suggestions welcome.

A small chain saw file and a triangular file should do the trick.

Ok, but do I grind an edge first, then the serrations? Any special kind of edge?

Thanks

from what I've seen....chisel edge works best (one-sided). You can also put the serrations in post-heattreat if you have a good dremel and diamond bit.
