A shochet is officially licensed by rabbinic authority to slaughter meat in accordance with Jewish dietary laws. Solis' knife was found "not suitable," and he was also recovering from a severe fall, and these are given as reasons that a final determination had been delayed. Solis was to receive two new knives, one large and one small, "made in the best manner," and undergo further examination.
