@laotzu92 of course etiquette has many aspects- this is just cutlery manners there are many other manners - table manners like not resting your elbows in the table or putting your cellphone on the table or tasting wine first , is also general etiquette. I am not really talking about manners - more etiquette. Placing your knife and fork together also let the waiters know you are finished. I dont see it much here in America only at classy restaurants.
