Ever considered making a set by using a small triangle or flat file to add serrations to feeler gauges?

That is how I file my nuts. YMMV.

Interesting.

Do you do sharks-tooth serrations for one-way filing or more symmetrically-shaped serrations for two-way? Work well with bone?

I bought a set of these this spring. Work great. Same ones as SM sells but without the plastic dipped handle. If you watch, the seller puts them on sale pretty often. I think I paid $68 for a set of 6.

Plain old "v" notches. Also realize that the thicker gauges need to have the cutting edges gently rounded over (a sharpening stone will do this) so that the slot bottom is radiused.

These worked out well for me..was successful in some minor tweaks and one oh shit too deep of a cut..live and learn..
