Why's it so hard to butter toast with a steak knife? (lemmy.world)

Every time I try to spread butter or jam over a slice of toasted bread using a steak knife instead of a butter knife, I never seem to be able to spread the topping that evenly.

I know I could figure this out if I just used my brain or paid slightly more attention while buttering the toast. But if I went to that effort, I could have just as easily gotten out a proper butter knife and made the whole issue moot, and I'm definitely too lazy to do that, so here we are.

Slight caveat: the steak knife in question is non-serrated, if that makes any difference.

The main thing is the blunt edge. You want to deform the butter, rather than separate it. A steak knife will more easily cut through the butter, meaning the rest of it sticks to the side of the knife, rather than continuing to get pulled along the bread.
