Could it be the steak knife shape? Spreading the butter by the base, but not the edge.
Truly a important question, a lot at stake here.

Why’s it so hard to butter toast with a steak knife?
butter a toast with a steak knife?
steak knife
Aha! And if you're too lazy to go pick up a butter knife, may I ask why you'll keep a steak knife with you but not a butter knife? We're getting spooked here OP
I mean if you wanna get into semantics, technically any knife could be called a butter knife once it's used to spread butter, couldn't it? But some knives are better at spreading butter than others. So maybe a more precise question would be: What makes a good butter knife? But this isn't c/precisequestions now is it
As far as how I end up in this situation: sometimes I cut my fruit before I go to butter my toast
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.
A butter knife does not require a sharp edge and it's designed & used in a way to preserve the creamy texture as you cut and spread the butter :) it's much smoother and definitely not the same thing. But I get what you mean.
