== [[Literature]] ==
* In the [[Dragonlance]] novel ''The Companions'', Sturm Brightblade is forced to fight in the arena against a minotaur gladiator, who uses a massive sword with a jagged edge.
* In ''[[All Quiet On the Western Front (Literature)|All Quiet Onon the Western Front]]'', the narrator mentions that veterans on the front take away from new soldiers any sawtooth bayonets they find on them, as anyone captured with them is killed outright rather then taken prisoner.
* In the ''[[Belgariad]]'', Ulgos use knives with all sorts of nasty hooks to do more damage.
* [[JRRJ. TolkienR. (Creator)R. Tolkien|JRR Tolkien]]'s ''[[The Two Towers]]''. The yellow-fanged orc guarding Pippin has a saw-edged knife.
* [[The Zombie Survival Guide]] mentions serrated edged knives in the chapter on anti-zombie weaponry, but notes that they have a tendency to get lodged in zombie skulls and encourages the reader to choose a plain-edged knife if one is available.
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* ''[[Star Trek: theThe Original Series]]'' pilot episode "The Cage". While in an illusionary fight to the death, Captain Pike picks up a barbed spearhead and uses it to impale the opponent jumping on top of him. Watch it [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArneXkxtC4M#t=2m30s here].

Line 48:
* The Forsworn weapons in ''[[Skyrim]]'' consist of hand-made weapons with loads of sharp bones and fangs to form serrated edges.
** [[Our Demons Are Different|Daedric]] weapons have serrated edges; some even have two points (ie, the Daedric Greatsword and Daedric Arrows).
* In one of the ''[[Knights of the Old Republic (Videovideo Gamegame)|Knights of the Old Republic]]'' games, one of the item descriptions mentions that some Sith prefer these over lightsabers for the more visceral sensation of blade cutting flesh.
* One of Nadia's sword upgrades from ''[[Nightmare Creatures]]'' is a silly-looking spiked sword.

* The female [[Mad Scientist]] in ''[[Blood Rayne]]'' duel-wields amputation saws.
* In ''[[Team Fortress 2 (Video Game)|Team Fortress 2]]'', [[Combat Medic|the Medic class]] has a bonesaw as its standard melee weapon; the alternative medic melee weapons tend to have straight blades. In addition, one of the sniper's alternative weapons is a ''wooden'' serrated knife which does less damage but causes [[Standard Status Effects|bleeding]].
* In ''[[Warcraft III]]'', Frostmourne has barbs on its blade, in contrast to the plain-looking runeblades of the generic Death Knights.
* During his [[One-Winged Angel]] form, [[Oda Nobunaga]] from ''[[Onimusha]]'' wields the serrated scimitar Genma Samonji, which can be picked up in the sequel by Soki as an [[Dishing Out Dirt|earth elemental sword]] named Starkiller.

* In ''[[Neverwinter Nights 2]],'' [[The Brute|Lorne]] wields a gigantic serrated falchion. After you defeat him it's given to you, though you can only use it if you're evil.
* In '''[[Nie R]]'', Kaine [[Dual-Wielding|Dual-Wields]] two serrated swords.
