May one handle muktzeh machmat chisaron kis (items set aside due to monetary loss) on Shabbat for any purpose?
Synopsis
The Mechaber rules that items one is careful not to use for other purposes due to fear of monetary loss (e.g., shechitah knife, milah knife, scribes' knife, spice hammer) are forbidden to move on Shabbat even for the purpose of the object itself or for its place. The Rema extends this to include items set aside for merchandise.
