Sharpening serrated blades can be challenging. One "right way" to do it is to use tapered conical files on each individual scallop. I've had poor luck with that method, but I haven't tried it that way in several years. The SharpMaker triangle rods do a good job, but they round off the points of the serrations over time since you are essentially running the rod down and through all the scallops.
This method I show grinds only from the flat side, which should preserve the pointy parts of the serrations. It's also very fast as compared to trying to do each scallop individually. I like the results. Some disagree with me. Some very strongly. That's fine; to each their own. I like the results and the amount of time spent with this method.
