Etymology

The word 'serration' originates from the Latin word 'serratus', which means 'saw-like'. This term was derived from 'serra', meaning 'saw'. The use of serrated edges can be traced back to ancient tools and weapons, where the need to create efficient cutting surfaces was essential for survival and daily tasks. Serrated blades are believed to have provided significant advantages in cutting and slicing due to their unique edge design. Over time, the design principles of serration have been applied to various tools, including kitchen knives, saws, and other cutting instruments, leading to their widespread use in both commercial and domestic settings.
