Jamie, to get those serrations I work off a continuous platform centered on the edge of the point.  I run flakes across the face with the red arrow first...from base to tip. I do that on each side.   Then I go back and abrade the hollows left from the first pass on the opposite side (the one with the green arrow). I do that with a diamond file and abrade towards the face I plan to flake next.   Abrading towards the last face brings the edge/platform back closer to center.  I flake he last pass from tip to base.    Once that is done, it's a matter of fine tuning the points on the serrations and slightly hollowing them out.
Be thankfull for all you have, because no matter how bad you think it is...it can always be worse.

Stickbender sounds like a good idea to me ::) I,m almost sure he could get something respectiful out of that boat anchor. Shannon all three look exceptional but I like the coyote jaw knife the best. Had to laugh your trying to put some age on that jaw an yesterday I was cleaning an peroxideing a coyo skull, trying to see how white I could get it. ;D  Bob
