Shoutout to the old guy at the Portland meat show who said 'the saw is for speed, the knife is for respect'
I was watching a demo on breaking a side of beef last week, and the presenter was flying through it with a bandsaw. An older butcher next to me leaned over and said that line. He meant that while power tools get the job done fast, the final trim and presentation with a sharp knife shows care for the cut and the customer. It made me slow down on my own trim work the next day, focusing more on hand-finishing even the cheaper cuts. Has anyone else had a simple piece of advice that changed how you handle your tools?

That "knife is for respect" line hits hard.

Yeah, that line gets me every time. You ever carry something just to feel a little more solid walking home?
