For the dents, it's probably best to use a submodifier. For the zigzag, you could simply make a zig zag pattern in black and white, save it, and then use it as a texture. If you blur the edges a bit before you do it, then you'll get a smoother look. Use it in the bump map properties for your texture and increase the intensity for the bump until you get the right setting.
 
I love the render. I'm wondering how closely you needed to model the picture, though. Is your need to simply model an exacto knife or the one in the pic? Great job on the zigzag bumps!
