8211.91.50.60 - Other

This HTS classification, 8211.91.50.60, specifically covers "Other" knives that have fixed blades and are equipped with handles made of rubber or plastic. This category falls under the broader heading of knives with cutting blades, serrated or not, excluding those specified in heading 8208, and their base metal parts. The defining characteristic here is the combination of a fixed blade and a handle constructed from rubber or plastic materials.

Within its sibling categories, this classification is distinguished by its specific handle material. For instance, the sibling category 8211.91.50.30, "Steak knives," may also have fixed blades and plastic or rubber components, but the "Steak knives" classification is driven by the intended use and potentially specific design features associated with that function, whereas 8211.91.50.60 is broadly inclusive of all other fixed-blade knives with rubber or plastic handles not otherwise specified.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 8211.91.50.60 relies on a thorough assessment of the knife's physical attributes, confirming it possesses a fixed cutting blade and a handle predominantly made from rubber or plastic, and ensuring it does not fit into any more specific classifications within heading 8211 or other relevant headings. This ensures accurate segregation from other types of knives based on blade type, handle material, or intended function.
