Hey Jeremi. I saw your friend request and had to raffle my memory to try to remember, but are you the guy that was asking about how to make a saw into a knife?

In any case good choice of edge for this, L-6 performs well with a chisel edge and it doesn't matter if you don't have any hollow on the back (that just makes perfection sharpening easier).

Make sure not to overtemper the spine when you have the teeth still left because if they're "knife" hardness now you might want to consider filing them so they cut better (file the edges "inside" of the criss-cross sawtooth pattern and make sure they cut very well so they don't "clog up" on anything and end up ripping a giant steel formation out of the blade.

 

With such big serrations it won't be any detailed ripping you will be doing anyway lol. But OI! Jeremi, you need yourself a nice polishing stone, that edge there can go alot further! ;)
