serrated blade
Jagged cutting edge
A serrated blade has a row of tooth-like notches along its cutting edge, like a saw.
The teeth grip and tear rather than slice cleanly, making serrated blades effective for cutting bread, rope, or tomatoes: The serrated blade cut through the crusty loaf without crushing it.
