Is it required that the shochet check his knife both on the fingernail and the end of the finger on the flesh? If he only checks it on the fingernail, is the shechitah just as good? Answer: The accepted procedure today is that Shochtim only  check a knife on their nail, and not on the flesh at all. posted:2014-01-06 09:55:02 printable version     email to a friend  "Zissen" Pesach Toivel Hot water Urn Bracha for bANANAS sprinkler on Shabbos clock shaving body Checking the shechitah knife Shabes Yom Hashoah Davening proper time to light chanuka candles
