Kashruth of Meat – Checking Knives




Question:

I have read in the Rambam's Mishneh Torah regarding the slaughter of animals that the Shochet  must  inspect  the  knife before  and  after  slaughtering  each  animal.  I  believe  this  is  also  the traditional Temani postion. Nowadays this practice is not followed; they inspect their blades then slaughter a number of animals after which they inspect the knife once again. This would seem to be a reliance on a bidi'eved position that if the knife is still without a blemish all the animals which were slaughtered were kosher assuming no blemishes are found afterward. My source Rambam's MT  Hilchot  Shechitah  1:23-24.  How  do  you  view  this  position  and  what  is  the  practical  application in today's environment?
