A dinar that became disqualified and one prepared it in order to hang it around a girl’s neck, is tamei. And likewise, a sela that became disqualified, and one prepared it in order to weigh with it, is tamei. To what degree may [a sela] become disqualified and it will [still] be permitted to keep it? Up to two dinars. Less than that, he must cut up [the coin].

An olar, and a pen, and a plummet, and weights, and kurim, and a ruler, and a writing tablet are tamei. And all unfinished wooden utensils are tamei, except for those [made] from eshkeroa. R’ Yehudah says: [A utensil made of] an olive branch is tahor, until its sap is removed.

A sword, a knife, a dagger, a spear, a hand sickle, a reaping sickle, a trimming scissors, and the scissors of barbers that were separated, they are tamei. R’ Yose says: The [part] closer to the handle is tamei, but the [part] closer to the tip is tahor. [Regarding] shears that were separated into two [parts]: R’ Yehudah rules [them] tamei, but the Sages rule [them] tahor.

A kaligryphon whose spoon was removed is tamei on account of its teeth. [If] its teeth were removed, it is tamei on account of its spoon. An applicator whose spoon was removed is tamei on account of its tip. [If] the tip was removed, it is tamei on account of its spoon. A stylus whose nib was removed is tamei on account of the eraser. [If] the eraser was removed, it is tamei on account of the nib. A zomalystera whose spoon was removed is tamei on account of the fork. [If] the fork was removed, it is tamei on account of its spoon. And the same applies to the teeth of a tiller. The measure for all of these is [as much as is necessary] in order to do their work.
