8211.95.10.00 - For table knives having fixed blades

This HTS category, 8211.95.10.00, specifically classifies table knives that possess fixed blades. These are knives intended for use during meals, distinguished by blades that are permanently attached to the handle. The "fixed blade" characteristic is a crucial differentiator, meaning the blade cannot be folded or detached from the handle for storage or use.

This category is distinguished from its siblings by its specific focus on *table* knives. For instance, sibling 8211.95.50.00 covers "other knives having fixed blades," which would encompass fixed-blade knives not primarily intended for table use, such as utility knives, paring knives used solely in food preparation, or certain craft knives with fixed blades. Category 8211.95.90.00, "Other," would apply to any remaining fixed-blade knives that do not fit the specific criteria of the other subcategories within 8211.95.

As this node represents a leaf category within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification into 8211.95.10.00 is determined by the item being a knife with a cutting blade (serrated or not), not of heading 8208, with a fixed blade, and specifically designated or designed for use as a table knife. The handle material being of base metal is also an implicit condition due to the parent categories.
