The cutting portion may have a cutting face with at least one axial edge surface extending circumferentially along a first portion of a periphery of the cutting face and extending radially inward from the periphery. The cutting face may also include a plurality of ridges. At least one ridge of the plurality of ridges may extend from a second portion of the periphery of the cutting face to a radially inner side of the at least one axial edge surface. Additionally, the cutting face may include at least one channel formed between adjacent ridges of the plurality of ridges. The at least one channel may be configured to direct formation cuttings along a path of the at least one channel.
