Which code does this activity belong in?
Cutlery and Handtool Manufacturing covers establishments that fabricate metal kitchen cookware through methods beyond simple casting or stamping, along with saw blades and nonpowered handtools. The boundary with Forging and Stamping lies in the fabrication process; cutlery and handtool makers perform additional shaping and finishing work after initial stamping or forging, whereas stamping establishments produce parts with stamping as their primary activity without further fabrication.
