I finally learned why my steaks were inconsistent after watching a TikTok from a real butcher in Chicago.

Visited a small shop in Milwaukee last month and watched them cut a whole ribeye primal, and they showed me how the weight of my knife was throwing off my angle - has anyone else had to completely retrain their hand feel after years of doing it wrong?

TikTok has a way of making you realize everything you thought you knew was wrong, which is exactly what happened with my knife grip back in March.

Wait, hold up. The WEIGHT of your knife? You mean like, the physical heaviness of the blade itself was making you tilt? That's wild. I've been using the same cheap chef's knife for years and now I'm paranoid my steaks have been suffering because I never even thought about that.
