8211.92.90.45 - Sheath-type knives

This HTS subcategory, 8211.92.90.45, specifically designates sheath-type knives. These are knives designed for secure storage and transport within a sheath, typically made of leather, plastic, or fabric. The defining characteristic is the presence of a sheath, which is integral to their intended use and presentation as a set.

This classification differentiates itself from its sibling, 8211.92.90.30 (Kitchen and butcher knives), by focusing on the knife's carrying mechanism rather than its primary functional application in a culinary setting. While kitchen knives are categorized by their intended use and often possess specific blade geometries for food preparation, sheath-type knives are defined by their portability and the inclusion of a sheath, making them suitable for outdoor activities, utility purposes, or as collectible items.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Classification under 8211.92.90.45 is conclusive for sheath-type knives not falling under more specific descriptions within heading 8211, ensuring a precise categorization for customs purposes based on the combination of a knife and its accompanying sheath.
