-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.

People have serrated knives because a fifty cent one will “cut” forever. But a butcher can’t use them because packaged meats will look like they were cut off with a chainsaw. In my home, serrated knives get most use on bread.
