If I flew more often, I would probably get a LM Knifeless Rebar as well.
There’s no way you’d get it through a European airport with that saw.
That was my first thought too. What you can carry on board is up to airport security. It doesn't matter that a tool is blade-less. A saw or scissors can be enough reason to have your beloved tool taken away. I think a MTO member posted that TSA confiscated his snap-off utility knife, even though it had no blade in. They took it just because it made a "threatening sound".
As it's the time of year where travel kit videos start to pop up, and I start to consider one myself, I thought it would be good to discuss the kind of tools you can get away with on a plane.What I like: In my checked bag I normally have a MT or two and a knife, my SALT Dragonfly is usually my travel knife. On my person I keep a AA light and a pen normally, but may try a pry in future.1) What do you like to take when you travel?2) This one is basically paging Surgey boi, but what can we get away with through the various securities without a beating and a good old cry?
I don’t fly much, and when I do it has always been within the US.But when I do, it is basically what you see here, except that the four knives are deleted. The Vic Rambler is replaced with a Vic Jetsetter.I also have a LM Style PS that I like and have flown with, though it is MIA at the moment.On the even rarer occasion that I check a bag, I usually just put a Vic Climber in there. It gives me a good amount of capability, but is legal to carry virtually anywhere that blades aren’t totally banned, and is inexpensive and easily replaced if it gets lost or stolen.If I flew more often, I would probably get a LM Knifeless Rebar as well.
[/b]Well hello GF (long time no hear )
You are barking up the wrong tree with me I'm afraid as I don't work for airport security (I work for the Gov'mint innit ) Isn't it?
However, I have carried a SAK classic on numerous occasions awl over Europe, in my hand luggage, with no issues (as has Mrs Surge ) I usually have a Swiss+Tech Utillikey as well and again no issues https://www.knivesandtools.co.uk/en/pt/-swiss-tech-shswtu-utili-key.htm However, I do keep them separate so that should they take a dislike to the Classic they won't usually look at the bunch of "keys"
Ultimately, airport security can refuse to allow anything that they believe could endanger either; A) Persons directly (used as a weapon) or B) The aircraft (tools used to remove bits thereof) This may be of some help for those UK based types (or even the Welsh) https://www.gov.uk/hand-luggage-restrictions/personal-itemsNB: Some airlines don't like some things that the list would allow but you'd need to check with them first (and get it in writing)
Would the knifeless Rebar be to check in? There’s no way you’d get it through a European airport with that saw.
Now that's a heavy carry! Can I ask why the duplicate Bics and Sharpies?
It's not my fault you're a heavy sleeper, I tried throwing sheep at the window but all it did was loosen Mrs Surge's cosmetic shelf again I never left here I just haven't posted as much recently due to work and YT picking up a bit. I'm always creepin' tho bae Huh, I knew the TSA was it's own thing in the states but I thought this was a border force thing in the UK. So are you like, a point of escalation for airport security then? And yes, I say Border Force in my head like Lee Evans saying Parcel Force. Oh sneaky, I like it! I don't think I'd try it yankside, but I don't have the most pleasant of memories with airport police For Euro travel that be nice though, I'll have to snag a utilikey, seen them before but questioned their usefulness. Thank you! And thank you for recognising our Sovereignty, we shall remember this when the battle sheep ride
That's pretty cool. Looking forward to seeing it.
It might be a bit of a disappointment. It’s Wave+ money for a lot less functionality, but it could turn out to be a handy tool.I found an old thread on here from someone who’d ordered a few of their tools (they describe them as Staks), but couldn’t find a follow up or review.
It looks good but as you said, a lot of "folding" for something that folds. I work at Heathrow (not for the Airport) and I think I'd struggle to get that through unless I claimed it was issued. I can carry some very pointy things for work (and some hitty over the head things as well) but I'm doubtful that I'd get it through as a passenger If you have to dismantle it and put it in your check-in bags (as I do with my LMs etc) then I'm not sure I'd pay a premium, but I await your travel experience.I wish you you awl the best (either way it looks great )
