Appreciation post: my pork shoulder trim time went from 12 minutes to under 7

For about a month, I was really slow at squaring off pork shoulders for our case, taking a full 12 minutes each. I watched a video from a guy in Kansas City who kept his knife tip planted and used his whole arm, not just his wrist. After a week of practicing that, I'm down to about 6 and a half minutes per shoulder and the trim looks way cleaner. Anyone have other tips for speeding up on big cuts without getting sloppy?

Heard a sharp knife is more about the angle than the steel, ever try that?

Used to think steel was everything, but getting the angle right totally changed my mind!
