One thing I've noticed that I find kinda humorous is on the entrance to the Vets Hospital in Omaha, they've one of those signs that keep you safe. You know the ones, no guns, no knives, yada yada.This place is where I've seen that quite routinely ignored, knife wise, by most every vet in there. It seems almost all, moreso maybe the bit younger ones, all have a pocket clipped knife. Easily visible.I've not once seen any of the security guards hassle anyone. I think it's just another case of act like a big boy, don't be a dumbass, and you'll get along just fine.But I'd imagine one of these days, an incident will occur, and they'll crack down.Other than that, it's pretty much carry what you want around here. Only place I've been stopped is at some govt buildings where I've had to go back out and leave my alox in the truck. They do seem to never notice the little brass looking SOG key knife on my keyring though. Knife on!

USA , California resident, locally we can carry anywhere EXCEPT: Hospital emergency room entry area (detectors and security goon squad await to accidently LOSE yer cool items ) Reg Hospital side is A-OK not even a guard in site , lol ..... Odd to me , but HEY! & the Court House ( similar squad except these are actual Sheriff Officers, and these guys suggest you take your items to your car, FIRMLY )Planes = check-in baggage ONLYOther places I have had issues hmmm - Disneyland , Magic Mountain , ANY/ALL High School Graduations , County Fair Main Gate - These are the only places I can think of where, they have had Guards and metal detector wand at the gates. We can carry any length folder or fixed as long as it is NOT CONCEALED , and 2" or shorter bladed knife if a Switchblade.I can not carry a Dagger or any knife where the blade is sharpened on BOTH SIDES.I can not carry a knife that is disguised to look like something else - ie: cane sword,bullet shell gimmick knives etcI rarely travel outside of my state, and rarely ever on a plane. Soooooooooooooo I rarely have any issues.
Finland is similar to Norway, ergo generally quit lax but large police discretion [...] Personally I don't like the law being so vague, as vague laws always weaken the Separation of Powers, giving judiciary power to the executive branch.
So, most SAKs it seems are edc friendly even here in stabby old England(we have a stabby kids with knives issue).What are peoples experiences with particularly delicate situations though?How about carrying on person when flying on holiday? In the airport, going through customs, the other end?Gigs, festivals?Are any countries a big no no? I mean being charged would suck big time, but having one confiscated would be irritating too.Iv'e just ordered a nice basic Tinker and i'm wondering if i should take it to thailand with me, but all stories are welcome.

We do not have "stabby kids with knives issue" in the UK. Why would you say that?There are laws for what you can and can't carry, I suggest you read them and decide for yourself I what you wish to carry and where.When flying there are rules to what you can take on a plane, check with the airline before you fly.
