What's carved out of this heading

HSN 8211 covers knives with cutting blades (serrated or not, including pruning knives) and their blades — except knives falling under heading 8208, which covers knives and cutting blades designed for machines or mechanical appliances (industrial cutting blades, machine knives for food processing, paper cutting, etc.).

Hand-held and kitchen/utility knives belong here at 18% GST; if what you're classifying is actually a replacement blade for a machine, check 8208 instead — it's a different heading with its own rate.
