All objects that are Muktzeh because of "monetary loss," are forbidden to be handled. These include things that you set aside not to be used because of your concern lest they become defective, such as: a craftsman's tools,³²Which are used only for “work” prohibited on Shabbos. [Shulchan Aruch Harav] a knife used to repair a quill, a knife used for slaughtering,³³A slaughtering knife is muktzeh even on Yom Tov. [R. Akiva Eiger, Beitzah 2b] a knife used for circumcision,³⁴Rema (Yoreh Dei’ah 266: 4) and Shach permit storing the knife after completing the circumcision. Others (Maharal, Taz, Gra) prohibit it. as well as writing paper, promissory notes, accounting ledgers, letters that you take care to safeguard,³⁵The owner determines whether that object is worthwhile safeguarding. [Mishnah Berurah 308: 6] valuable vessels that you do not use at all, as well as anything that you are so careful about that you keep in a special place,³⁶To be considered “מוּקְצֶה מַחְמַת חֶסְדוֹן כִּיס” (“muktzeh due to monetary loss”) the owner must be averse to the object being moved needlessly. [Sha’ar Hatzi’yun 310: 19 from Beis Meir, as interpreted by R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zatzal. and do not use it, as well as vessels in your store that are intended for sale,³⁷Food, however, even if intended for sale, is not muktzeh. [v. Magein Avraham 308: 3; Mishnah Berurah 310: 4; Ohr Samei’ach, Shabbos 25: 9] even if they are eating implements, if you do not usually lend them, (but if you sometimes lend them they are not muktzeh.) All of these and similar things, as well as a purse in which you keep money, are muktzeh because of "monetary loss" and you are forbidden to handle them even if you need to use them or you need the space they occupy.
