Find anything that is not subject to good and evil.
A table is pretty neutral to me.

No, it's a broken table, not an evil table.
I hope you are joking but I'm not. You asked for an exemple of anything that is not subject to good and evil and I gave you one. Now what you have to do is to explain how a table could be good or evil.
Should be interesting...

You're dodging.
How is it evil? If you break your arm, does it become evil?
You're trying to use the wrong scale. It's like saying: "On a scale of 1 to 10, there's no banana".
If you want to put a table somewhere between good and evil you'll have to explain how.

Have you ever noticed that good or evil refers to actions or thoughts and not to inanimate objects?
Tables don't fit on your scale. They don't think, they don't act. You want them to fit on it to preserve your idea that tree of knowledge of good and evil = tree of knowledge. Why do you think the writers of the scriptures didn't stop at ..of knowledge? Why specify good and evil?
By your logic, they couln't eat the apple because they didn't know what an apple is.
