-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.

Answer 1

When you eat a steak, you use the knife to saw back and fourth to cut off a piece. Butchers knives are so sharp they can do it in one swing.
