Reference for Shabbat 291:7

תניא חדא חותלות של גרוגרות ושל תמרים מתיר ומפקיע וחותך ותניא אידך מתיר אבל לא מפקיע ולא חותך לא קשיא הא רבנן הא ר' נחמיה דתניא ר' נחמיה אומר אפי' תרווד ואפילו טלית ואפילו סכין אין ניטלין אלא לצורך תשמישן

<b><i>GEMARA</i></b>. R. Oshaia said: They learnt this only of pressed [raisins]; but not when they are loose [apart].<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' If the raisins are pressed together, a knife must be handled for cutting them out, and at the same time the barrel may be broken open with it. But if they are loose, so that a knife or axe is not required, it may not be handled merely for breaking the cask open. ');"><sup>12</sup></span> 'But not if they are loose [apart]'? An objection is raised: R. Simeon b. Gamaliel said: One may bring a cask of wine, strike off its head with a sword, and place it before guests on the Sabbath, and he need have no fear!<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Of violating the Sabbath. ');"><sup>13</sup></span>
