Serious question, why do so many butchers ignore wrist support?

I've seen too many guys cutting without proper wrist braces. After ten years, my wrists are always sore from the same motions all day. Buying a simple support strap when you start can prevent serious injury later. It's a small step that makes a big difference in how long you can work.

You're right about buying a support strap early. Many butchers skip it because they feel strong and don't notice the strain at first. That daily repetition wears down your joints over time, not just in a year but across decades. I've watched older guys leave the trade because their hands just gave out. Preventing that slow damage is way easier than trying to heal it later. Starting with good habits is what keeps you in the game for the long haul.
