You can have serrated saws or knives, or even serrated scissors. Serration does not make it a saw.

What makes it a saw, then, in your view?

I would say it's more around purpose, like taking down a tree, a branch or rope would be the purpose of a saw. They have saw blade knives for smaller beaches or other purposes. Kinda if hard to explain but I think usually you can tell the difference.

I have a neighbor (honest to god) who edged a lawn with a miracle blade. Does that make it a trimmer?

Haha, I believe it, but I would still say no, I would say intended purpose. Maybe your neighbor refers to it as a trimmer.
