# A knife should be kashered with hagalah.<ref>Pesachim 30b quotes Rav Ashi's practice to do libun on the blade of the knife and hagalah on the handle and concludes that it needs hagalah for the whole thing. Tosfot wonders why for chametz it seems that hagalah is sufficient, while for non-kosher the Tosefta, Yerushalmi, and Chullin 8a imply libun is necessary. First he answers that a knife which is used to cut something on the fire should be kashered with libun, but if it is used with liquid heat hagalah is sufficient. Secondly he answers that for chametz hagalah is sufficient since chametz is considered a permitted absorption (trans. ''hetera baala''; Hebrew התירא בלעא). | |||
* Ramban Avoda Zara 76a disagrees with Tosfot and holds that knives only ever need halagah. The Tosefta and Yerushalmi could have another opinion but the bavli only requires hagalah for all prohibitions. The Gemara Chullin 8a just means that it is possible to do libun but not that it is necessary. The Ramban fundamentally disagrees with the Tosfot and considered chametz a prohibited absorption. Furthermore, Ramban is not concerned with the possibility that the knife is sometimes used for dry heat since we should judge it according to its majority usage. Tosfot Rash Pesachim 30b quotes an opinion who indeed requires libun in addition to halagah for knives for pesach and rejects that view. | |||
* Shulchan Aruch O.C. 451:3 rules that knives need hagalah for Pesach and makes no distinction whether it was used for liquid heat or dry heat. Taz 451:7 agrees. However, Magen Avraham 451:6 is concerned for the minority use with dry heat and would require libun in accordance with Rama 451:6. Mishna Brurah 451:19 is lenient to use haglaah for knives. He is willing to be lenient based on two factors; some rishonim hold that chametz is hetera baala (Tosfot) and some rishonim hold that we follow majority of the uses (Ramban) and even though we're strict regarding each factor alone, together we're lenient.</ref> | |||
