-Why do butchers use teeth with no knives to cut animals but steak knives have serrations.

Question

I noticed in a breakdown video while butchering a cow. Is it due to fibers being more stringy after being cooked? My other thought is the temperature of the meat.

I’d guess because a serrated knife uses a more sawing motion a curved tip with a straight edge allows clean slices making the finished cuts look more presentable.
