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

1.26K viewsOther

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.

Hard, straight blades work flawlessly, and cut through everything in a matter of seconds, but on a plate they will dull quickly.

A serrated blade saws which ultimately will work no matter how dull it is, but it’s slow and produces ugly work.

Ideally, customers would have a tiny version of a kitchen knife, but one wrong move the can kill someone in under a minute.

If you can slice through a two inch steak without effort, the other people at your table as just as easy to cut to ribbons.
