Cold butter

Why does cold butter stick to the knife when buttering hot toast?

I am asking other more knowledgable people in this section if indeed I am answering this correctly.......!

Is it because the electrons around the Atoms are moving more slowly and tend to grip or mingle with the other electrons forming the steel of the knife which are of similar temperature ?

Because you're not pressing hard enough.
