serration
Blade's tiny teeth
Serration is a row of teeth or notches along an edge, like those on a saw blade or bread knife.
The pattern creates a jagged cutting surface that grips material as it slices.
Serrated edges appear on knives, leaves, and stamps.
A single tooth in such a row is also called a serration: The serrations on this blade are wearing down.
