Overview
This category encompasses table knives specifically designed for dining, characterized by their fixed blades. The defining feature of this classification is the material of the handle, which must be silver-plated. This includes a wide array of knives used for serving and eating food, where the aesthetic appeal and material composition of the handle are paramount to their classification.
Crucially, this subcategory is distinguished from its siblings by the specific silver-plated composition of the handle. While other sibling categories address knives with stainless steel, rubber, plastic, or other materials for their handles, this heading is exclusively for those featuring silver plating. The fixed blade aspect ensures these are not folding knives or those primarily intended for utility purposes outside of dining.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this category relies solely on confirming that the table knife has a fixed blade and a silver-plated handle. Examples would include steak knives, butter knives, and fish knives where the handle exhibits silver plating.
