Immersing a Knife
Question
Is there an obligation to immerse the knife that we buy before Rosh Hashanah, or can it be immersed after Rosh Hashanah?
Answer
Shalom!
If one wishes to use it on Rosh Hashanah, even for a single use, there is an obligation to immerse it.
However, it is permitted to keep it at home before immersing, if it is not being used.
