Quoting%20commentary for Kelim 13:3

חַרְחוּר שֶׁנִּפְגַּם, טָמֵא, עַד שֶׁיִּנָּטֵל רֻבּוֹ. נִשְׁבַּר מְקוֹפוֹ, טָהוֹר. קֻרְדֹּם שֶׁנִּטַּל עֻשְׁפּוֹ, טָמֵא מִפְּנֵי בֵית בִּקּוּעוֹ. נִטַּל בֵּית בִּקּוּעוֹ, טָמֵא מִפְּנֵי עֻשְׁפּוֹ. נִשְׁבַּר מְקוֹפוֹ, טָהוֹר:

A coulter [of a plow] that is damaged is susceptible to impurity until its greater part is removed. But if its shaft-socket is broken it is pure. A hatchet whose cutting edge is lost is susceptible to impurity on account of its splitting edge. If its splitting edge is removed, it remains susceptible on account of its cutting edge. If its shaft-socket is broken it is pure.
