BraskaYoter , you used to be able to put knives in your checked baggage , I Think you still can. been a while but when I flew to FL that is what I did and just brought a folder , Disney checks the ladies purses but not your pocket [/quote]
You can but we did not check any bags, each had a carry on and one personal item ( backpack ). Couldn’t sell the wife on paying for a checked bag just to bring my knife. It worked out though, I made sure I drank the savings she kept me from spending lol.

A man belongs to have a knife in his pocket at all times, even if it is small. I admit mine is usually my Leatherman. The photo is self-explanatory. Claude was my Grandpappy.

I call that adultproof packaging. I shouldn't need a machete to open that rigid plastic almost everything comes in today.

sounds like one of those times I would drop past a store and buy an inexpensive knife often something usable can be had for under 15 dollars. we don't fly much once a decade but I have been wondering how much fishing stuff I could get in a carry on , I generally only need a fishing kit about the size of most peoples shave kit , and I don't shave. a toothbrush and toothpaste is all I need put that in a ziplock bag in a jacket pocket and good to go. if I brought a reel and bought a 20 dollar pole when I picked up my license and a basic fillet knife or pocket knife at the end of the trip find some kid fishing on a pier and give him/her the pole before flying home. some people can sit on a beach , I find it best when I stand in the water to my knees and hold a fishing pole. tsa says small fishing tackle is ok just no Big hooks https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/small-fishing-lures#:~:text=Sharp%20fishing%20tackle%20that%20may,in%20your%20carry%2Don%20baggage.

These are my every day work knives, kept in my tool box. Sawzall blades, ground and sharpened with sandpaper, plexiglass handles held together with window rivets and shaped with a wire wheel. They get the job done, and we're free. You made those in prison, didn't you! Prison Shanks,,hahaaaa

those remind me of the shives my 16 year old daughters makes exacto knife blade sandwiched between two wooden craft sticks
I taught her to use epoxy for her crafts
she broke the exacto blade holder at some point , didn't tell me and she just took some craft sticks and epoxied the blade between when they get dull she makes another.
