I agree- in my day I always carried a SAK and even worse, I decorated my locker with a dummy hand grenade!Just imagine the fun that would cause today!I don;t mind the airplane thing so much really. While I do feel naked without a SAK or multi on me, I can manage for a few hours without one.Def
Leatherman also makes an air travel version of the Fuse without a knife blade, but to be honest, I think I wouldn't even try. To me it's not worth the effort of trying to explain to the mindless "security" drones at the airport that it passes all regulations. Their feeble minds are wired to say "SAKs= BAD" over and over and they really have no interest in squabbling with passengers. Upset their daily routine at your own peril. Security folks, especially the mindless variety can be amazingly vindictive if provoked and arguing with them over a nail file can result in a body cavity search, which will probably cause you to miss your flight.If you think you feel naked without a SAK, imagine how you'll feel when you ARE naked with a strange man's finger in your hiney, and he isn't a doctor.Def
I carried a Camper to school every day, and never even thought twice about it.BTW, the "Tote N' Chip" is still awarded in Boy Scouts today.
One of the better professors that I had in college carried a SAK in a belt sheath. At the beginning of the final class he asked if there were any other question before the exam. One student asked him what he carried in that pouch on his belt. He pulled out his SAK (a climber I believe) and told the class what it was and went on to explain that since the age of 4 he had carried a pocketknife. The class was shocked in a fearful kind of way.

It's a sad day when a being self reliant and well prepared has people thinking you are some kind of bloody serial killer.The kind of brain dead predator who carries knives for malicious purposes more often than not has some P.O.S cheap folder or just reaches into the kitchen drawer before leaving what ever cave they have spent the night in

If anyone brought any kind of knife even a cardboard knife or fake sword or ANYTHING that has to do with any kind of violence they would LITEREALY be detained to the police station.I cant even a while ago it was so cool and now everyone is so crazy about things!-fresh

That thing wore a hole in the pockets of all my jeans. M friend and I were detained by one of the principles after we were caught enjoying one of God's given herbs. They made us empty our pockets and we both had 110 folders. The principle asked us if they were having a sale on them. After the police left they gave us back the Bucks and we were suspended from school for three days for the weed! That's it. Imagine today. Calvin
You guys should hide your pocket knives and multi tools underneath your turbin, those TSA agents won't look there. This whole things is about disarming the public from day one. If a child can't learn how to handle a pocketknife, he can't learn how to handle a fixed blade. If you wanted a generation who coulden't hold a pen or write, then outlaw pens.Take away the toy guns from developing children, and they won't know how to properly shoulder a rifle when the time comes. I've seen it with guys in their late teens early 20's...they hold a bb gun as if it's covered in wet paint.

I agree with you to some extent, but you will also have to take away real guns from anyone in the child's family. Kids learn a great deal by watching.
