8211.91.80 - Other

This category encompasses table knives specifically designed for dining, characterized by fixed blades. Unlike knives classified under heading 8208, these are general-purpose cutting instruments intended for use at the table. The "fixed blade" designation is crucial, distinguishing them from knives with folding blades.

When classifying table knives with fixed blades, the material of the handle plays a significant role in determining the specific subcategory. This current node, "Other," serves as a residual category for table knives with fixed blades where the handle material does not fall under the explicitly defined categories of silver-plated, stainless steel, or rubber/plastic. For instance, if a table knife with a fixed blade has a handle made of wood, bone, or a non-specified metal alloy, it would typically be classified here.

Within this "Other" category, further distinctions are made based on specific types of table knives. "Steak knives" are a distinct subcategory, recognizing their specialized design and purpose for cutting steak. The remaining items are grouped under "Other," capturing any remaining table knives with fixed blades whose handles do not meet the criteria for the more specific sibling categories or the steak knife subdivision.
