serrated edges
Saw-like blade borders
Serrated edges have a row of sharp, tooth-like notches along their length, like a saw blade or bread knife.
The teeth grip and cut through materials that a smooth edge would slide across: The serrated edges of the knife made quick work of the crusty loaf.
Serrated edges appear on knives, leaves, and industrial cutting tools.
