Hirsch Summary
A Shochet (ritual slaughterer) examined two knives and used one of them to slaughter an animal. Later, when he wanted to re-examine the knife, he couldn't remember which one he had used and found one of them to be defective. A notch in the knife renders the animal forbidden for consumption. The questioner wants to treat this case as a double doubt. However, Chija Cohen de Lara rejects this and prohibits the consumption of the animal.
