Verb
Context #1 | Verb

edge tool

Serrating refers to the process of creating a series of notches or grooves along the edge of a tool or blade, which is commonly done in the manufacturing of knives and saws. This technique enhances the cutting ability of the tool by increasing friction and enabling it to grip the material being cut. Serrated edges are particularly effective for cutting through tough or fibrous materials, as the scalloped design allows for a sawing motion. Items with serrated edges are preferred in various applications, especially in culinary and industrial settings.

Synonyms

notching, sawing, toothing.

  • The chef used a serrating knife to slice the bread.
  • Serrating the edge of the saw made it more effective.

Etymology

The term 'serrating' originates from the Latin word 'serratus', meaning 'saw-toothed'. The word evolved in English from the late Middle Ages, as tools and knives with serrated edges began to appear in various trades, particularly in carpentry and culinary arts. The concept of a serrated edge was applied to enhance the functionality of tools, allowing users to cut through harder materials with greater ease. Over time, the use of serrated edges has expanded across several industries, including food preparation, construction, and manufacturing. Today, the term 'serrating' is widely recognized in both everyday and specialized language, denoting the process of adding serrations to cutting tools and referring to the tools themselves.
