Generally,
If you are making a 50/50 edge, The ideal area to put the serrations is towards the heel of the blade to bite into heavy rope etc, while cutting and leave the forward 50 a plain edge for any finer cutting chores. You can try putting them on the spine but I personally don't think its a good idea to have sharp cutting areas facing you and your hands. Perhaps on some kind of fighter knife?
Serrations can be made with hand files, usually Diamond coated , Carbide burrs or a set serrated pattern grinding stone.
That all depends on your money & craftsmanship level.

Cool, I have one old survival knife I've used for years to clean deer with and it has a sawblade type serration on the spine of the blade. I've always found it very useful for cutting up game in the field, so i was thinking something along those lines. I guess maybe serrations is not the proper term for what I have in mind. It's more a sawback blade maybe?

Joe,
Saw back is a bit more proper of a term for what you are referring to. Those can be made the same way.
Have fun.
