    The file work is done before the steel is hardened, i.e. before heat treatment, while the steel is in its annealed state.

    Some, like scallops, can be done after heat treatment by a belt grinder. This isn't as commonly practiced.
    There is also laser work, carving and stamping on the razors I have seen.

    Yup, small files when the metal's still soft. It's not too hard to do but takes time, I always end up sticking the pointy end of a tiny file into my thumb at least once per knife it seems. The tricky part is coming up with patterns that haven't been done to death already.
